As News Center 7 previously reported, the crash happened July 16 on State Route 562, otherwise known as the Norwood Lateral Expressway.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said a City of Cincinnati maintenance pickup truck with an attached trailer was going west on SR 562.
A Metro bus, driven by Taylor, was also going west on SR 562 when he “allowed his bus” to hit the truck and pushed it forward into a trailer being towed by another City of Cincinnati truck, WCPO reported.
There were three city employees on the trailer being towed. One of the employees, identified as 46-year-old Jonathan Allen Young, was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Taylor was also injured in the crash.
He’s now being held in the Hamilton County Jail and is expected to appear in court on Friday.
