The Ohio State Highway Patrol tells First News one woman was flown to St. Elizabeth Hospital in serious condition.

Lt. Benjamin Dennison said initial evidence suggests the semi-truck veered over the center line, hitting the other vehicle head-on. A third vehicle driving behind the other was also hit, receiving major front-end and body damage.

SR 165 has since reopened.
