The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was called to 6559 Fairview Road this afternoon at approximately 5:00 p.m. on a fatal traffic crash involving one vehicle. The preliminary investigation shows that the 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis was traveling north bound on Fairview Road and occupied by three parties, two males and one female. The vehicle left the roadway, striking several trees. The female party was found dead in the vehicle, both males were transported to Erlanger Hospital where one succumbed to the injuries he suffered in the crash. The second male sustained severe injuries and is in critical condition at Erlanger Hospital.

Due to the fact that the next of kin has not been notified, no further information will be released at this time. The investigation is on-going and being handled by Sgt. Mark Kimsey of the HCSO Traffic Division.
