WILMINGTON — A 4-year-old child was killed and six other people seriously injured in a head-on crash, in Wilmington Saturday evening, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Troopers with the Wilmington Post said the crash investigation is ongoing, but preliminary findings indicate the driver of a 2013 Dodge Dart was traveling west on U.S. 22 with four additional passengers when the Dodge struck a 2019 Kia Sorento, with two occupants, that was traveling east head-on shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday evening.

Troopers said all occupants in the Dodge are from Blanchester. The driver of the Kia is from Harrison and the passenger is from Lebanon.

Six other people in the crash suffered serious injuries and were transported to Clinton Memorial Hospital, OSHP said.
