TURTLE CREEK TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One woman is dead and several other people were taken to the hospital after a crash on I-75 in Warren County Tuesday afternoon.
Ohio State Highway Patrol said all northbound lanes of I-75 were closed near SR-122 as officials investigated a crash involving eight vehicles. The roadway reopened shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday.
A preliminary investigation found six vehicles were disabled in the northbound lanes, while one SUV came to a stop on the side of the road following the crash. A semi-truck overturned on top of the median concrete barrier, blocking both sides of the interstate.
Judy Ashley, a 58-year-old woman from Middletown driving a Ford Bronco, was taken to Atrium Hospital, where she later died. The semi-truck driver was also taken to the hospital with what OSHP called "life-threatening injuries." Two people were transported with serious injuries, while three others were treated for minor injuries.
OSHP's Lebanon Post is still investigating the cause of the crash. No one has been charged at this time.
