CINCINNATI — One person is in critical condition and two others are in serious condition after an early-morning crash in Westwood, Cincinnati police said.
The crash happened around 3:45 a.m. Friday in the 5700 block of Glenway Avenue.
A 41-year-old man was driving a 1999 Ford E350 van north on Glenway Avenue when he lost control, traveled off the road and struck a utility pole. A 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old female were also inside the van at the time of the crash.
According to first responders, one person was ejected from the vehicle and two others had to be removed. All three were taken to the hospital. The driver is currently in critical condition. Both passengers sustained serious injuries and are currently listed in stable condition, investigators said.
The section of Glenway Avenue between Muddy Creek Road and Midway Avenue was shut down through the morning rush, investigators said. The roadway has since reopened.
The SUV appears to be converted into an RV. It has solar panels on the roof and there is a lot of debris around the crash site including a bean bag chair and a mattress, however investigators have not confirmed if all of the debris on the scene came from the vehicle.
Investigators have not said if they know what caused the crash. According to police, excessive speed does not appear to be a factor, but impairment is being investigated.
