A woman died from critical injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash Sunday afternoon on Lee Highway, police said.
According to Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Janice Atkinson, the driver of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee was traveling westbound in the 10000 block of Lee Highway and observed a blue vehicle traveling eastbound in the westbound traffic lane.
To avoid the driver approaching from the wrong direction, the driver of the Jeep swerved off the roadway into a ditch before losing control of the vehicle and hitting a Suzuki motorcycle that was traveling eastbound. The accident was reported about 3:20 p.m, police said.
The operator of the motorcycle suffered critical injuries and was transported to Erlanger hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, Ms. Atkinson said.
The blue vehicle was described as either a Chrysler PT Cruiser or a Chevrolet HHR.
