Is Heroin This Bad EVERYWHERE?

[BFritz21]

Is the heroin epidemic as bad everywhere as it is in Greater Cincinnati? Seems like every other day you can turn on the news and see someone dying from ODing or driving messed up on heroin and wrecking.

Take the case Monday where a driving messed up on heroin drove off the side of the road, the car rolled several times, killed one person, and a mom and baby were ejected from the car (I have no idea how the baby is still alive):

Quote:7 that left one person dead, ejected a child in a car seat and injured two others, police said.

The crash happened Monday afternoon on eastbound I-275 past I-471.

Several Northern Kentucky agencies responded to the crash scene. A 4-door sedan ran off the side of I-275 eastbound and rolled several times.

Police said Michael Gilliam of Cincinnati was ejected and killed in the crash.

A 7-month-old boy in the back seat was also ejected and is in critical condition at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Ft. Thomas police said. His name hasn't been released.

Billy Jones of Bethel was not ejected and was stable at UC Medical Center.

Amanda Thomas of Bethel was also ejected and is in critical condition at UCMC.

Police said drugs and or speed may have been factors in the crash. It's not immediately clear who was driving, police said.

All lanes were reopened just before 6 p.m.

It doesn't say it in that story, but other stories all but state as fact that it was because of heroin.

Here's another one saying needles were found.

Is this common everywhere? Why is heroin taking over?
