Woman due in court over fatal accident

A 23-year-old Blue Ash woman is scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Campbell County District Court on a charge that she was intoxicated when her vehicle crashed on the Combs Heil Bridge early Monday, killing a passenger.

Nicole Dattilo was charged with driving under the influence in the crash that killed 23-year-old Ryan Heck of Butler, Ky., said Campbell County police.

Ms. Dattilo was driving a Toyota GTS eastbound on Interstate 275 when it crashed into the bridge wall and a steel girder about 1:35 a.m., the sheriff's department said.

Ms. Dattilo and two other passengers suffered minor injuries in the crash, which ended with the vehicle flipping on its top.

The crash remains under investigation.
