The sheriff's office received a report of a possible fatal accident on State Road 1 near Old State Road 1 in Southgate around 2:12 p.m. Friday.Investigators said a husband and wife, identified as Ronald and Vanessa Bailey, were driving southbound in two separate vehicles on the left-hand curve of that road. That's when investigators learned a driver of a Nissan Rogue driving northbound on that same road, went left of center and struck Vanessa's vehicle head-on in the crash. Vanessa's vehicle went off of the road and into a grassy embankment while the Nissan Rogue spun out in the southbound lane and struck Ronald's trailer that was attached to his truck, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. The Franklin County Coroner pronounced 56-year-old Vanessa Bailey dead at the scene. Officials said Ronald was treated at the scene and the driver of the Nissan Rogue was taken to a Cincinnati area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the press release, the driver of the Nissan Rogue told investigators that he possibly fell asleep while driving. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office says this is an ongoing investigation and toxicology results are pending.
