In a release, the OSHP Piqua Post said that Jessica Stover, 36, of West Carrollton, was driving northbound on I-75 in a 2012 Chevrolet sedan before crashing into the back of a 2023 Freightliner tractor-trailer.

The crash trapped Stover in the vehicle, and she had to be removed by emergency crews.

CareFlight responded to the scene, and flew Stover to Miami Valley Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, OSHP said.

The driver of the semi was not injured.

A second crash was also reported in the area, with no injuries, the highway patrol said.

I-75 North was closed beyond the Miami County Rest Area near U.S. 36., but has since reopened.

The crash remains under investigation.
