The Butler County Sheriff’s Office says a 27-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges after a head-on crash in Liberty Township that seriously injured another driver. Deputies and Liberty Township Fire crews were called out early Wednesday morning to State Route 747, where investigators say a northbound Hyundai Elantra crossed the center line and struck a southbound Honda Civic. The driver of the Civic, a 28-year-old woman, suffered serious injuries and was taken to UC West Chester Hospital.

Deputies say the driver of the Hyundai showed signs of intoxication and had an open alcoholic beverage inside the vehicle. According to the Sheriff’s Office, he had no identification and initially gave deputies a false name and birthdate. He was taken to UC Medical Center for treatment, and deputies stayed with him until he was medically cleared. Before his release, investigators confirmed his identity as Yoan Perez Ventula. The Sheriff’s Office says he is not legally in the country and that federal immigration authorities have placed a detainer on him. Perez Ventula was booked into the Butler County Jail on charges including aggravated vehicular assault, obstruction of justice, OVI, operating without a license, and driving left of center. Sheriff Richard Jones said the traffic crash investigation is ongoing. The Butler County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team is handling the case, and anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Steven Poff at the Sheriff’s Office.
