A multi-vehicle crash near the intersection of State Route 28 and Thompson Road in Goshen Township left at least one person trapped Wednesday evening, prompting a call for UC Health AirCare. The crash was reported around 5:45 p.m., according to dispatch, and involved two vehicles. The extent of injuries and the cause of the crash remained unknown as of Wednesday night.
The crash was first reported by WKRC, which noted that dispatchers placed the location near SR-28 and Thompson Road in Goshen Township. When entrapment or life-threatening injuries occur along that corridor, emergency crews typically call in UC Health Air Care, which flies Airbus EC145 helicopters from regional bases in Mount Orab, Butler County, and Walton, Kentucky, according to the RadioReference wiki. The program is designed to airlift Level I trauma patients to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, per the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
A Familiar Stretch of Highway
State Route 28 is a 71-mile state highway that functions as a major commercial and commuter corridor linking Clermont County communities to Interstate 275, according to a federal report cited in the Goshen Township Land Use Plan. Local planning documents identify the route as a key arterial road that carries freight between regional transit hubs, which helps explain why crashes and closures along the corridor tend to ripple through local traffic patterns.
Goshen Township Fire & EMS operates Station 18 directly on State Route 28, at 1849 State Route 28, putting primary responders within close reach of crashes like Wednesday's. The station reopened in May 2026 after an EF2 tornado destroyed the previous facility in July 2022, with crews working out of temporary quarters on Wood Street during reconstruction, according to Goshen Township Fire/EMS.
Part of a Recurring Pattern
Wednesday's crash adds to a string of serious incidents along State Route 28 in Goshen Township in recent years. In December 2025, a head-on collision near State Route 48 killed one person and forced a temporary closure of the highway, a crash Hoodline covered in its report on the suspected DUI collision. In October 2024, a two-vehicle collision at Edenton Pleasant Plain Road left five people dead and one critically injured, according to 10TV.
The pattern extends beyond Route 28 itself. Just days earlier, on August 30, UC Health Air Care airlifted a driver to University of Cincinnati Medical Center after a vehicle went off U.S. Route 50 into the East Fork Little Miami River in Clermont County, a crash Hoodline detailed in its report on the driver airlifted after the car veered off U.S. 50. Through late August 2026, the Ohio State Highway Patrol had conducted more than 5,600 enforcement stops and investigated thousands of traffic incidents across Clermont County, per patrol statistics. Clermont County was also one of six Ohio counties to record a traffic fatality during the 2026 Memorial Day weekend despite statewide enforcement efforts, 10TV reported.
No further details on injuries, vehicle occupants, or the cause of Wednesday's crash have been released. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
