Crash with injuries reported on I-75 southbound in Erlanger (2024)

JUST ONE OF SEVERAL DAYS TO COME. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL AND I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON HERE WITH KELLY RIPPIN. YES, THE HEAT WE ARE WATCHING OUT FOR. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE TO GET YOU READY FOR THIS WEATHER IMPACT DAY. THAT HEAT INDEX GOING TO BE IN THE MID 90S? YES, VERY WARM. OUR SOCCER WAS CANCELED TO KEEP ALL THOSE KIDS SAFE. RANDI AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S RICHARD CHILES WILL HAVE THE IMPACT IT’S HAVING ON SCHOOLS ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI. FIRST, WE NEED TO TALK WITH YOU, THOUGH, ABOUT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT AS WE PREPARE FOR THE DAY. WELL, EXPECTING A HOT END TO THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST. OUR TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE SITTING RIGHT AROUND THE UPPER 60S TO 70 DEGREES OR SO. AND AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, OUR TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB UP IN MOST PLACES TO SOMEWHERE IN THE MID 90S, ABOUT 9495 DEGREES AND EXPECTED HIGH AS WE ROLL THROUGH THE DAY. NOW THERE IS A HEAT ADVISORY THAT GOES INTO EFFECT TODAY AT NOON FOR ALL OF GREATER CINCINNATI, AND IT LASTS THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW IN THROUGH ABOUT 8:00 ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. SO HEAT ADVISORY FOR EVERYBODY. IT IS GOING TO BE A WARM DAY THOUGH. THE HUMIDITY IS ACTUALLY HIGHER THIS MORNING THAN IT WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON. SO FOR TODAY, FORECASTING A HIGH TEMPERATURE AROUND 94 DEGREES. AND AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, IT WILL FEEL LIKE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ABOUT 94 TO 97 DEGREES IN THE SHADE MOST OF THE DAY. SO TAKING YOU THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS, RIGHT NOW IT IS 73 WILL BE RIGHT AROUND 70 AT 8 A.M. A LOT OF SUNSHINE. FIRST PART OF THE DAY, MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY IN THE AFTERNOON, I EXPECT A FEW PASSING CLOUDS. SO AT 2:00 IT WILL BE 93. FEELING LIKE 97, AND AT 5:00 KIND OF SAME THING. SO YOUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID UPPER 90S AND EXPECT THIS TO BE KIND OF ON REPEAT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SO I’M SURE THE AC IS PUMPING IN THE CAR. KATIE, DO WE HAVE ANY ISSUES ON THE ROADS? NO ISSUES ON THE ROADS AND IT’S GOING TO BE A WARM DRIVE TODAY. SO 71 AT EUCLID RIGHT NOW. GENERALLY QUIET. JUST A COUPLE OF CARS IN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTHBOUND LANES. 275 STILL LOOKS CLEAR HERE AS WE START OUT THE MORNING. OUR ROADS AND BUTLER WARREN COUNTY A VERY SIMILAR PICTURE HERE. SO YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE NORMAL DRIVE TIMES ABOUT 20 MINUTES, JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS, EVEN AROUND 75 SOUTH BETWEEN TYLERSVILLE AND DOWNTOWN, NOR LATERAL TO FORT WASHINGTON WAY ON 71 SOUTHBOUND AT EIGHT MINUTES. GUYS BACK TO YOU. KATIE. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. 503 HERE ON YOUR TUESDAY, THAT HEAT HAS CERTAIN SCHOOLS TAKING ACTION TO KEEP STUDENTS SAFE. MULTIPLE SCHOOLS IN THE OAK HILL SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE LETTING STUDENTS OUT OF CLASS EARLY ALL WEEK BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. AND SO WE ARE ALSO SEEING CHANGES FOR YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS, OUTDOOR EVENTS AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S RICHARD CHARLES IS LIVE FOR US TO EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS, RICHARD. MAKING SURE THOSE YOUNG ATHLETES ARE HEALTHY. THAT IS GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS ALREADY BEING PROACTIVE. IN FACT, THE LAKOTA WEST HAMILTON FOOTBALL GAME BEING DELAYED FOR AN HOUR BECAUSE OF THOSE EXTREME HEAT TEMPERATURES. NOW, ALSO, WE’RE SEEING PRACTICES THIS WEEK ALSO BEING DELAYED OR SCHEDULES BEING CHANGED. CERTAINLY MAKING THE DECISION, OF COURSE, TO MAKE SURE THE ATHLETES ARE SAFE. NOW IT’S UP TO EACH SCHOOL TO MAKE THAT DECISION ON THIS BECAUSE THERE’S NO STATEWIDE RULES ABOUT WHAT TEMPERATURE IS TOO HOT FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO PLAY IN. LAUREN WHITE, WHO IS AN ATHLETIC TRAINER AT TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL, SAYS THAT THE TURF THAT THEIR FOOTBALL FIELD REACHED 90 DEGREES ON YESTERDAY AND ONLY EXPECT IT TO GET HOTTER. SO THERE’S TIMES WHEN IT’S TOO HOT TO BE ON THE TURF. BUT THE GRASS FIELD IS WITHIN A RANGE WHERE WE CAN LET KIDS PRACTICE FOR AN HOUR WITH X NUMBER OF BREAKS, OR WE CAN COMPETE ON THE GRASS FIELD, BUT WE CAN’T COMPETE ON THE TURF FIELD. SO WE JUST HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGY TO BE ABLE TO TO TAKE THE READINGS AND MODIFY AS WE CAN. NOW, CERTAINLY THESE CHANGES CAN BE FRUSTRATING, BUT OF COURSE, THE HEALTH OF THOSE ATHLETES HAS GOT TO BE A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. WE’VE GOT A LIST OF ALL OF THOSE CHANGES ON OUR WEBSITE AT WLWT.COM REPORTING LIVE THIS MORNING, RICHARD CHILES WLWT NEWS FIVE. ALL RIGHT. RICHARD WLWT IS YOUR HOME FOR CINCINNATI’S MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. AS WE DO PREPARE FOR THIS WEATHER IMPACT DAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. YOU CAN TRACK THOSE CHANGES TO OUR HEAT THROUGH THE WLWT MOBILE APP ONLINE AT WLWT DOT COM. 505 WE’RE LEADING THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS THIS MORNING. A FIRE IN BOND HILL LEAVES TWO PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME. IT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE TWO THIS MORNING AT THE GLEN MEADOW APARTMENTS ON GLEN MEADOW LANE. THAT’S RIGHT OFF EAST SEYMOUR AVENUE. FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THAT FIRE QUICKLY, KNOCKING DOWN THE FLAMES BEFORE OUR CREW ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. AN ADULT AND A CHILD DID GET OUT. THE ADULT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES AND IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. RIGHT NOW, IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE, BUT FIREFIGHTERS SAY IT CAUSED AN ESTIMATED $100,000 IN DAMAGE. 505 AND NOW TO THE DEVELOPING STORY. COUNSELORS WILL BE AT WESTERN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL THIS MORNING. A DAY AFTER A 15 YEAR OLD STUDENT WAS HIT BY A CAR AT THE BUS STOP. THAT CRASH HAPPENED ON GLENWAY AVENUE IN WEST PRICE HILL. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S NICOLE APONTE LIVE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND NICOLE, YOU WERE AT THIS CRASH YESTERDAY AS IT HAPPENED JUST UP THE ROAD FROM THERE AND YOU LOOKED INTO CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY IN THAT AREA. YEAH, KELLY, WE FOUND THAT OVER 270 CRASHES HAPPENED ON GLENWAY AVENUE THIS YEAR ALONE. JUST OVER 40% OF THEM HAPPENED IN WEST PRICE HILL, WHERE THAT 15 YEAR OLD STUDENT WAS STRUCK YESTERDAY WAITING FOR THE BUS STOP. NOW, NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE ALONG GLENWAY AVENUE, LIKE JANET JARRETT. SHE ACTUALLY LIVED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO WHERE THIS ALL HAPPENED YESTERDAY MORNING. SHE HAS BEEN HERE FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. SHE SAYS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WE WE LOST. WE WE LOST NICOLE’S MICROPHONE THERE, BUT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GIRL WHO GOT HIT. AND AS FOR HER, SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, WE’RE TOLD, IN SERIOUS CONDITION. AGAIN, WE’RE WORKING TO GET UPDATES ON HOW SHE IS DOING AND MORE ABOUT THAT ASSISTANCE THAT WILL BE AT WESTERN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL. NOW, POLICE HAVE NOT FILED CHARGES IN THE CRASH, BUT THEY DO SAY THAT IMPAIRMENT IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS A FACTOR. WE’
