MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — One person is dead and another injured after a wrong-way crash on Interstate 75 in Middletown Saturday afternoon, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
At approximately 3:15 p.m., the OSHP responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash on I-75 near milepost 33 in Middletown.
Upon arrival, troopers found the driver of one of the vehicles dead at the scene, OSHP said.
The OSHP has identified the person killed as Geiner Hildalgo, 46, of Dayton.
The second driver was transported to Atrium Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, OSHP said.
Investigators found that Hidalgo was driving a 2016 Nissan SUV north on I-75 when they were hit head-on by the driver of a 2011 Ford pick-up truck, driving southbound in the northbound lanes.
Both vehicles traveled off the left side of the roadway and came to a stop on the shoulder against the concrete barrier wall, OSHP said.
I-75 northbound lanes were closed for a short time for the crash investigation.
OSHP has not yet said if speed or impairment are factors in this crash, or if any charges will be be filed.
The crash remains under investigation by the Lebanon post of the OSHP.
