FAIRFIELD, Ohio — Dixie Highway is closed in both directions in Fairfield after a shipping container fell on a car, police said.
The Fairfield Police Department said officers responded to a crash at a railroad underpass on Dixie Highway near St. Clair Avenue at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. When they arrived, crews determined a semi-tractor trailer carrying a portable storage unit hit the underpass, causing the unit to fall onto a Ford Fusion.
Though dispatchers originally confirmed one person was taken to the hospital, police said two people inside the car were taken to the hospital with "potentially serious injuries." The semi-tractor trailer driver was not injured.
Fairfield police are in charge of the investigation.
