INDEPENDENCE, Ky. - A woman has been hospitalized with critical injuries following a head-on crash in Northern Kentucky on Monday.

The two-car crash happened in the 3900 block of Richardson Road near the Golf Courses of Kenton County around 12:15 p.m.

Police say the driver of a dump truck lost control of the vehicle, over-corrected and went left of center into the path of an oncoming car. The 67-year-old driver of the car had to be extricated from the wreckage before an Air Care medical helicopter flew her to University Hospital. The crash caused the dumptruck to overturn and spill asphalt all over the road.

The driver of the dump truck for Kentucky Material Transport was not injured.

Police have not released any other information at this time.
