Three people were injured early Friday morning after their vehicle crashed into a drainage ditch on Ross Hanover Road in Hamilton. One of those people died, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.

They were traveling west in the 2100 block just before 1 a.m. when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a drainage ditch. Two passengers were taken to a hospital by ambulance and one with serious injuries was taken by a medical helicopter.

Investigators have not said what led to the crash.

The incident was the second fatal crash in Butler County this week. Another occurred Wednesday night in the 5300 block of Hamilton Mason Road in Liberty Twp.

In that crash, a 2002 Chevy Tracker was traveling east and a 2016 Volkswagen Passat was traveling west when they collided. The driver of the Tracker died after being taken to a hospital.

No names have been released in either crash, which remain under investigation, the BCSO said.
