The incident was reported at approximately 8:55 a.m. by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, prompting an immediate emergency response.

Law enforcement, fire crews, and medical personnel arrived to find at least one person injured. Paramedics provided on-scene care before transporting the victim or victims to nearby hospitals for additional treatment. The exact number of people hurt has not yet been confirmed.

Traffic was disrupted in the area as both Central Avenue and East 11th Street saw partial lane closures while the scene was secured and debris was cleared. Motorists experienced delays and were encouraged to use alternate routes until the area was reopened.
