CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A car rear-ended a semi-truck on southbound I-71 near the Pfeiffer Road exit early Thursday morning, causing a multi-vehicle crash that sent two people to the hospital.
The car ran into the back of the semi-truck and then another card ran into the back of the first car.
The person in the first car was trapped under the semi-truck for a while.
Both of the drivers were sent to Bethesda North Hospital. One of the drivers is said to have serious injuries while the other is still being evaluated.
The semi-truck driver was reportedly not hurt.
Police believe excessive speed may have contributed to the crash, but they are unsure if drugs or alcohol were factors.
Only one lane of southbound I-71 is currently open in the area. The hope is that all lanes will be open by 5:30 a.m.
