During the initial investigation, it was revealed that a 2020 Honda Civic, driven by 22-year-old Kelis Manuel from Fairfield, Ohio, was heading westbound on US-52.
Manuel was in a no-passing zone when she attempted to pass a 2006 Dodge Ram that was pulling a utility trailer.
Manuel’s vehicle struck a 2021 Volvo semi head-on, driven by 49-year-old Jimmy Davis from Cincinnati.
The semi came to a rest in the middle of the road. Manuel’s vehicle went off the left side of the roadway.
Davis was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Manuel and a rear-seat passenger in her vehicle were transported to Cincinnati area hospitals with life-threatening injuries.
Two other passengers, 21-year-old Kimora Manuel from Cincinnati and 22-year-old Le’Marea Holmes from Cincinnati, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Alcohol and heavy rain in the area at the time of the crash may have been a contributing factor to the accident.
