A man is held on $125,000 bond this morning for his role in a deadly crash in Hamilton late Sunday night.

Police there say 43 year old Jennifer Bowling was driving home from work, going north on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. at about 11:22 p.m. when a Southbound car went left of center, hitting Bowling head on. Bowling was taken by Care Flight to Miami Valley Hospital where she died from her injuries.

The Southbound car was driven by Julio Cesar Olvera-Mejia. Olvera-Mejia left the scene of the accident and was subsequently arrested at Mercy Hospital in Fairfield, where a friend had taken him.

Olvera-Mejia was charged with driving left of center, no drivers license, leaving the scene of an accident, O.V.I., and aggravated vehicular homicide.

Bowling was a mother of two daughters. William Altizer knew Jennifer as a good neighbor. "She was a very fun loving person. She had come over to my house yesterday, I had surgery and she comes over and checks on me everyday. I had open heart surgery and she always looked out after me and cooked for me and helped me out."

Bowling was also a grandmother to three---ages six, six months and three months.
