The daughter of controversial Hustler publisher Larry Flynt was in critical condition Saturday after she was involved in a two-vehicle crash Friday in Ohio.

Lisa K. Flynt, 47, of Huber Heights, was in the intensive care unit Saturday at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, according to Riverside police.

Lisa Flynt was rushed to the hospital after crashing a green Oldsmobile sedan around 5 p.m. 

Police said Flynt's vehicle rolled after she turned in front of a semitrailer and she was ejected.

The passenger, 24-year-old Cierra Mallory, was treated and released.

Police on Saturday were executing a search at the bar where the two were allegedly coming from before the crash occurred.

He said in a brief telephone interview Saturday morning that doctors were trying to determine the extent of her cranial injuries.

Larry Flynt, 71, is the publisher of Hustler magazine and chairman of an adult entertainment empire that also includes television and video services, retail stores, websites and a Los Angeles-area casino.

Flynt, 71, launched his empire in Dayton, where he operated several "go-go" bars during the 1960s. His first publishing venture was a men's tabloid called Bachelor's Beat, launched in Dayton in 1968, according to this newspaper's archives.

In 1988, Larry Flynt won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case on the First Amendment, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.

A spokesman for Larry Flynt Publications Inc. did not respond to a request for comment.
