CINCINNATI — One person is in the hospital after a car crashed into Woodward High School in Bond Hill, police said.
At around 1 a.m. Thursday, police said a car was traveling north on Reading Road when the driver lost control, came through the parking lot of the school and crashed through a door.
The impact was so hard that the engine flew out of the car and into a hallway inside the school.
