Metro bus driver charged in Norwood crash

A Metro bus driver, Kyle Brandon Taylor, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter in connection with the July 16 crash on the Norwood Lateral that killed 46-year-old City of Cincinnati Department of Public Services worker Jonathan Young and injured another colleague. Police and sheriff’s officials say the bus struck the rear of a City truck, pushing it into a trailer carrying three city workers; Young did not survive. Taylor was hospitalized for his own injuries and was later held in jail, with court appearances scheduled shortly after the incident. Metro and local authorities described their cooperation with investigators as the probe continued. Reports note the victim and crew were removing warning cones when the crash occurred, and that a second worker was hurt but expected to recover. The case has been updated across outlets as Taylor faced charges and potential arraignment or court dates from late July into July 24, with ongoing details shared by local stations.
