CINCINNATI — Three people were taken to UC Medical Center Sunday morning after the car they were in crashed into another car before careening into a downtown sushi restaurant, Cincinnati police said.

It happened shortly before 4 a.m. at the intersection of West Sixth and Race Streets.

Following the initial crash, a Toyota SUV then crashed into Baru, a sushi and cocktail bar. Officers on scene told our crew one person needed to be extricated, while bystanders helped another person out and a third person was able to get out of the car on their own.

"I was in my room reading and I heard a loud boom, like the loudest I've ever heard, and then I looked out my window, saw the crash, called 911 at 3:44 a.m. Then I just started describing everything from my balcony," Courtney Brown said.
