Car crashes into school knocking out power, engine lands in hallway
A car crashed into Woodward High School in Bond Hill so hard overnight, the engine flew into the hallway and one person is in the hospital, Cincinnati police say.
Power was knocked out to the building when it happened around 1 a.m. off Reading Road.
Police say they believe the driver lost control of his vehicle. It careened off the road, through the school’s parking lot and smashed into a door.
The driver and a passenger got out and ran off, police say.
