A heartbreaking crash in Boone County has taken the life of a Cincinnati woman and left another passenger in critical condition. The incident happened around 4:15 p.m. on July 6 on Industrial Road, near the 7400 block. Emergency crews rushed to the scene after reports of a serious collision involving multiple people. Despite their best efforts, two lives were lost, and one person was hurt badly.
Shirley Hadden, a 55-year-old from Cincinnati, was one of the victims. She died from injuries she sustained in the crash. The second person who died hasn’t been named yet, but authorities say they’re still working to identify them. It’s a tough time for everyone involved, especially for Shirley’s family and friends, who are trying to cope with the loss.

The third person in the car was a 70-year-old woman. She was seriously hurt but is now at UC Medical Center getting the care she needs. Officials say her injuries aren’t life-threatening, but she’s still in the hospital. That’s some good news, but it doesn’t make the tragedy any easier to swallow.
Investigators stayed on the scene for hours, taking notes, collecting evidence, and trying to figure out what went wrong. The road was closed for a while as they worked, which caused some traffic issues. But they finally got everything cleared up and moved on to the next step.
No one knows exactly what caused the crash yet. The sheriff’s office says they’re still looking into it. They’ll probably talk to witnesses, check the car, and look at other clues before they can say for sure what happened. Right now, it’s all guesswork.
The community is reeling from the loss. Families are mourning, and neighbors are talking about what happened. People are hoping the injured woman makes a full recovery, and they want answers about how this could have happened. Anyone with information is being asked to call the sheriff’s office.
This is a sad day for Boone County. Two lives are gone, and one person is still fighting. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can change and how important it is to stay safe on the roads.
