\nOhio County Sheriff Adam Wright says one person is dead, five others are in critical condition after a crash near Cromwell.<\/p>\n
Wright says his office responded to a call for a two vehicle crash just after 6 p.m. Saturday. It happened in the 7000 block of Highway 231.<\/p>\n
Officials say one of the cars had eight people inside. One person was pronounced dead on scene. Three passengers were air lifted to a Louisville hospital in critical condition, two others were taken to Louisville in ambulances, also in critical condition, according to Sheriff Wright.<\/p>\n
First responders had to call for additional ambulances from Butler County.<\/p>\n
The sheriff says the car with eight people crashed into a car with just one person inside. The driver of that car was taken to Ohio County Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Highway 231 was closed for the remainder of the night as deputies reconstructed the accident.<\/p>\n
At this time, investigators are still working to learn what caused the crash.<\/p>\n
The identity of the deceased driver will be released at a later time, although the sheriff says it appears the person was not from the Tri-State area.
