They were headed east on Port Union Road when the 17-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle and slid into the westbound lane, striking a silver Jeep Patriot.
Fairfield Police Officer Doug Day said he couldn’t confirm whether the slick, wintry conditions played a role in the crash.
“I’d have to assume so, probably,” he told the Journal-News, saying until the investigation is complete they won’t know if other factors may have been involved.
The driver was taken to Mercy Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the Jeep, a 36-year-old man, did not report any injuries.
The roadway will be closed until about noon while accident reconstructionists investigate the crash.
