Good morning, Hamilton.

The Tunnel to Towers 5k will soon take place to honor first responders and military—participants from our community will run to show their respect for service members.

Traffic was backed up on I-74 in Green Township after a crash Tuesday morning — the Ohio Department of Transportation said the right shoulder east of Rybolt Road is blocked and alternate routes are advised as crews clear the scene.

A Springfield Township woman, 56, is accused of scamming renters by taking deposits and rent while leading police on a high-speed chase that ended when officers pushed her car off the road – she faces theft, failure to comply, and obstruction charges.

On Aug. 29, the Ohio First District Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors cannot use key evidence in Elwood Jones' new murder trial because his defense did not get to cross-examine a dead witness— a setback for Hamilton County prosecutors in linking Jones to a 1994 murder.

The Butler County Sheriff warned that scam callers are tricking people by demanding $2,500 for inmate release — a fee set by the court system, not the jail, and advised anyone contacted to hang up immediately.

The Footlighters are set to perform The Wizard of Oz at a local venue soon—details on show times and ticket prices will be announced later.

Ohio's new law will require drivers under 21 to complete an approved driver education course with 24 hours of classroom instruction, 8 hours of instructor led training and 50 hours of supervised driving before they can get a license.

The rule will take effect Sept. 30 and follows data showing nearly 155,000 crashes with 400 deaths and over 40,000 injuries among young drivers—prompting extra safety measures.
