HAMILTON — A 3-year-old girl and an adult riding in a pickup truck involved in a head-on collision were flown to Cincinnati hospitals in a crash that injured three others, including a 6-year-old boy.

As dozens of nearby residents lined the sidewalks at East B Street, emergency crews used extracting equipment to remove one adult female from the passenger side of a blue 1989 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck around 8:40 p.m. Friday, April 25, after it crashed head-on with a 1998 Chevrolet 2500 truck police said was attempting to turn left at the Lagonda Drive intersection.

Matt Allen of Hamilton was sitting on a lawn chair in front of his brother's house when he saw the northbound work truck in the southbound lane about 50 feet ahead of the intersection before it collided with the pickup carrying two adults and two children.

Allen said he pulled a 6-year-old boy from the mangled S-10 before emergency crews arrived but said the girl was unconscious so he didn't attempt to remove her.

Hamilton police Sgt. Dave Alatorre said the adults and children, who were riding in the S-10's rear seat, were taken by ambulance to The Fort Hamilton Hospital.

The driver of the work truck also was taken to Fort Hamilton, he said.

The 3-year-old was flown to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and one adult was flown to University Hospital. No names or conditions have been released, nor would police say whether the trapped woman was the patient flown to University Hospital.

Alatorre said it's too early to tell whether alcohol was a factor. The crash remains under investigation.
