A multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 275 in Miami Township has left two local men with serious injuries.
The Batavia Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the serious injury crash that involved four vehicles.
The crash happened on July 23 at about 6:33 a.m. on I-275 near state Route 28.
According to information from the Batavia Post of the OSHP, Phil Couch, 48, of Cincinnati, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado southbound on I-275 when he traveled into the median and hit a cable barrier.
Couch’s vehicle then crossed into the northbound lanes where it hit a Ford Fusion, driven by Khaled

After the first crash, both Jawish’s and Sons’ vehicles traveled off of the right side of the road where both hit a concrete wall.
