Woman killed in fatal Fedex truck crash ID’d

Crews responded to reports of a one-vehicle crash around 9:30 a.m. on I-75 northbound, according to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch.

A semitrailer was traveling north on I-75 near mile marker 54.8 and went off the right side of the road, down the embankment and onto the Ohio 4 and Webster Street exit before the split, according to James Rider of the Dayton Police Department.

The 35-year-old man driving the truck was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

“At this time, there doesn’t seem to be any signs of impairment and it does not appear that any mechanical failure caused the crash,” Rider said. “It is possible that the driver fell asleep and went off the road at the curve on I-75.”

The Dayton Police Department said Sunday in post on X — formerly known as Twitter — that a semitrailer flipped onto its side and lanes were shut down.

A 911 caller said a semi- rolled over on I-75 over the turn lane, and the driver was “walking around” at the time.

A second 911 caller said the truck drove straight off the road and went through a guardrail. No other vehicles were involved, the caller said.

A third 911 caller said the semi is from Fedex.

An additional 911 caller said the truck was flipped under a bridge and the driver was getting out of the truck at the time.

“No flames, but smoke,” the caller said. “The vehicle is completely smashed.”

This crash is under investigation by the Dayton Police Department.
