A woman on a ramp at a business adjacent to Middletown Regional Airport near Cincinnati, OH was seriously injured Sunday when she was struck by the moving propeller of an airplane.

Middletown Fire Captain Jeff Spaulding said that she walked into the turning prop of an airplane belonging to Nouvel Air, according to the Journal-News newspaper. Spaulding said she suffered "severe head injuries."
