Cincinnati, OH (August 28, 2025) – A serious three-vehicle collision occurred Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of West North Bend Rd and Colerain Ave in Cincinnati, resulting in injuries—including to a one-year-old child—and leading to at least one person being taken into custody at the scene.
Police and emergency responders were dispatched following reports that a gray Toyota Highlander carrying a young child had been rear-ended at the busy intersection. Two additional vehicles—a black Toyota SUV and a black Toyota RAV4—were also involved in the crash, which left all three vehicles disabled in the roadway.
Medics treated multiple individuals for injuries. At least one person was transported to a local hospital, though the extent of injuries to the victims, including the child, has not been confirmed. Responders worked to safely remove the vehicles and reopen the intersection while Cincinnati Police conducted their preliminary investigation.
One individual was taken into custody following the crash, though the circumstances of their arrest have not been disclosed. The intersection remained partially closed for a period as the scene was cleared and further assessments were made.
Our thoughts are with all those involved, especially the child and their family, as recovery efforts begin.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Cincinnati Intersections
Three-vehicle collisions like the one reported Tuesday at W North Bend Rd and Colerain Ave are often the result of chain reactions—frequently caused by distracted driving, following too closely, or aggressive maneuvers in high-traffic areas. This particular intersection is a major arterial crossing in Cincinnati, known for its steady flow of commercial and residential traffic.
When rear-end impacts involve children, the situation becomes even more urgent. Young passengers are more vulnerable to serious injury in crashes due to their size and fragility, even when secured in proper child restraints. Emergency care, emotional trauma, and long-term recovery can affect entire families for months or longer.
Crashes involving multiple vehicles also create complex liability questions, especially when injuries are present or criminal actions (such as reckless driving or DUI) are suspected. In this case, the custody of one individual suggests that further legal developments may follow.
For residents of Cincinnati, this crash highlights the importance of cautious, alert driving at busy intersections. The margin for error is slim in urban traffic, and the consequences of even a moment’s distraction can be devastating.
