Reily Township, Ohio – A head-on crash in Reily Township seriously injured a pickup driver Friday morning, closing Millville-Oxford Road for at least an hour and prompting a specialized crash investigation.
According to Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, deputies were dispatched around 7:30 a.m. to the intersection of Millville-Oxford Road and Booth Road for a reported injury crash.
Upon arrival, authorities determined the Butler County Sheriff’s Office Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team (S.T.A.R.T.) was needed to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
Preliminary findings indicate a pickup truck traveled left of center and collided head-on with a semi-tractor trailer. The pickup driver sustained serious injuries and was transported by medical helicopter to UC Medical Center for treatment, according to the sheriff’s office.
Investigators said wet roadway conditions may have been a contributing factor in the crash. The semi-tractor trailer overturned during the collision.
Millville-Oxford Road at Booth Road remained closed for approximately one hour as crews worked to clear the scene and remove the overturned truck. Motorists were advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
Additional information is expected to be released as the investigation continues.
The closure affected morning commuters in the rural Butler County corridor, particularly drivers traveling between Reily Township and nearby Oxford.
