Two people were killed Tuesday in a two-car accident on state Highway 60 in the Birchwood community, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
At 5:15 p.m. deputies called to investigate a crash in the 6800 block of Highway 60.
A 2000 GMC truck traveling east veered across the center line and struck a 1996 Ford Mustang, according to Janice Atkinson, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. The head-on crash killed the driver and passenger in the Mustang.
The driver of the truck was transported to Erlanger hospital by Hamilton County Emergency Medical Service with nonlife-threatening injuries, Atkinson said.
There was no indication at the scene of either alcohol or speed being a factor, although the investigation is ongoing and being handled by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Division, Atkinson said.
