1 Killed, 1 Injured In Warren Co. Crash

A man was killed and another seriously injured Friday night in a single-vehicle crash along Brewer Road, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The driver of the 1993 Chevrolet Lumina was transported by ambulance to Bethesda Medical Center at Arrow Springs in Lebanon. The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the patrol. The names of both men, of Mason, were not released.

Sgt. Paul Lezotte of the patrol’s Lebanon Post said the accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. when the driver, traveling east on Brewer Road near Mason Montgomery Road, failed to negotiate a curve to the left. The driver then over-corrected and struck a mailbox before coming to rest in a ditch in a treeline, he said

Both men are believed to be between 40 and 50 years old and neither was believed to be wearing a seat belt, Lezotte said.

The accident remains under investigation, but Lezotte said alcohol may be a factor.
