Clermont Co, OH (August 10, 2024) – A severe crash on Saturday night in Clermont County resulted in the death of a juvenile and serious injuries to two other individuals. The incident, reported by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, occurred at approximately 9:09 p.m. on State Route 28 at milepost 7 in Goshen Township.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash involved a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by a juvenile, which was traveling southwest on State Route 28 when it crossed the centerline and collided with a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The Colorado, driven by Jacob Demaris, 27, of Fayetteville, was traveling northeast on the same route. Sabrina Deitz, 40, also of Fayetteville, was a passenger in the Colorado.
The impact caused the Chevrolet Colorado to veer off the road, and both Demaris and Deitz sustained serious, though non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders transported both individuals to Bethesda North Hospital for treatment. Tragically, the juvenile driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Firefighters were called to the scene to extricate the injured parties from the wreckage, and traffic was temporarily diverted while authorities managed the situation. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is continuing the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
