ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A woman died and two others were seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday night, Oct. 31, on U.S. 52.
According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Traffic Safety Unit, deputies responded just after 10 p.m. to U.S. 52 at Eight Mile Road.
Investigators said a 2025 Honda CR-V driven by Donita Bessent was turning left from Eight Mile Road onto U.S. 52 and failed to yield to a westbound 2012 Kia driven by Jerry Ncelhamey, 39. The Kia struck the driver's side of the Honda.
Bessent was taken by emergency crews to UC Medical Center, where she died, authorities said.
Ncelhamey and his wife, Stacy, were taken to a hospital with serious injuries, according to investigators.
Neither speed nor impairment appear to be factors in the crash, investigators said. The Traffic Safety Unit is investigating.
