Crashes
A three-vehicle crash on Interstate 75 backed up traffic for over an hour on Thursday morning, Oct. 31.
According to Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSP) Trooper Nathaniel Kovach, dispatch received a report of the crash in the southbound lanes on I-75 on Thursday at 5:50 a.m. Kovach said a tire on a Ford Mustang blew-out, causing the vehicle to spin and hit the center median barrier. The Mustang then bounced back into the left southbound lane and a GMC pick-up truck that was traveling southbound in the left lane hit the car, followed by a second southbound vehicle, a Lexus, also hitting the Mustang.
No one was cited in the crash, which was caused by a mechanical malfunction, Kovach said. No one was transported for medical care or reported any injuries at the scene, he said.
Also responding the scene of the crash to assist OSP was deputies from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office and Tipp City Fire and EMS Services.
The center and right lanes remained open, with the left lane being closed for approximately 45 minutes.
