In a devastating incident, a serious crash on the northbound lanes of NB I-75 in Dayton led to the closure of all lanes late last night. Authorities and emergency responders rushed to the scene, but tragically, a coroner was called, indicating a fatality in the crash. Details regarding the number of vehicles involved or the extent of injuries have yet to be fully disclosed, but the crash has caused significant traffic delays.

The incident, which occurred near the downtown Dayton area, caused heavy congestion on the highway as motorists were rerouted. Police and rescue teams worked tirelessly to manage the situation, with medics on hand to provide immediate assistance to any survivors. Despite these efforts, the severity of the crash was evident as medical professionals were seen preparing for the worst.

Witnesses at the scene described the chaos, with several vehicles severely damaged. “I saw at least three cars completely wrecked,” one eyewitness reported, “It looked really bad.” The crash involved multiple vehicles, although the exact cause is still under investigation.

As emergency crews worked through the night, officials from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) urged travelers to avoid the area if possible, using alternate routes. Commuters have been heavily impacted, and the full reopening of NB I-75 remains uncertain, with officials prioritizing safety over a quick resolution. Investigators are now piecing together the moments leading up to the crash, which may have involved adverse weather conditions or high speeds.

As of this morning, authorities confirmed that a coroner had been summoned to the scene, signaling the possibility of a fatality, though official details have yet to be released. The identity of the deceased, if any, remains unknown as authorities await further investigation.

Dayton Police, in collaboration with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragic event. They’ve asked anyone with information about the crash to come forward to aid the investigation.
