GREEN TWP, OH, (January 26, 2025) - The Green Township Police Department reports a Sunday afternoon single-vehicle accident claimed the life of one person and left another hospitalized with injuries.
Nicholas Hahn lost his life Sunday afternoon when the vehicle he was a passenger in struck a tree along Westbourne Drive in Green Township.
According to authorities, 79-year-old Cleves resident Nicholas Hahn was a passenger in a vehicle heading southwest along Westbourne Drive when it left the roadway and crashed into a tree around 12:29 p.m.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of any investigations, the family of Nicholas Hahn may pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
Bond, a national legal analyst for Newsline, said, “Grieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights. An attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during difficult times and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
“No amount of money is enough for a victim or their family to deal with the trauma and pain they experienced after a catastrophic crash. However, an attorney can help ease the financial burden and provide a path forward,” Bond stated.
