Ventura was heading northbound when the vehicle he was driving went left of center and collided with a vehicle heading southbound.
The driver of a vehicle heading south, a 28-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries and was taken to the University of Cincinnati West Chester hospital, according to the release.
