The coroner has identified the man as 55-year-old Michael Kimbrow.
Cincinnati police said its Traffic Unit responded to the 7000 block of Fairpark Avenue just before 2 p.m. Wednesday for a reported fatal crash.
An initial investigation found that Kimbrow was driving a 2024 Nissan Kicks southbound on Fairpark Avenue when he lost control of his SUV and hit a pole. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
