Kristina Pinkerton, 20, of Cincinnati, was traveling southbound on North West Street approaching the intersection at Fenner Avenue. Brianna Humphrey, 21, of Hillsboro, was traveling southbound on North West Street ahead of Pinkerton. Humphrey slowed her vehicle to a stop due to traffic ahead at the intersection. Pinkerton observed the stopped traffic ahead and attempted to slow her vehicle using the brakes; however, whenever she depressed her brake pedal, her brakes locked up causing her vehicle to slide forward.

Pinkerton was cited for assured clear distance ahead.
