Around 10 p.m. on Dec. 1, Huber Heights officers responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-70 West. They arrived to find a white sedan with heavy damage and a semi-truck on the right side of the road.
Snow had started to accumulate on the highway, and visibility was reduced, according to police.
The initial investigation determined the sedan, a 2015 Ford Focus, was stopped in the right lane with no lights on. Another vehicle traveling in the right lane swerved to avoid the sedan.
A semi-truck behind that vehicle couldn’t react in time and hit the Focus, according to police.
The impact pushed the Ford across the westbound lanes and into the median, according to a crash report. The car slid back across the road and came to a stop in the right lane.
The driver of the Focus, later identified as Carrion, was unresponsive when officers arrived. Medics transported him to the hospital, where he died from injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
The crash temporarily closed the westbound lanes of the highway as police investigated.
