A 30-year-old man was killed in a crash Friday night in Miami Twp.

The Dayton Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol identified the man as William Abner Jr., of New Lebanon, who died at the scene.

Crews responded to reports of a fatal crash on Interstate 75 near the exit ramp for State Route 725 around 9:19 p.m., according to the patrol.

OSHP said Abner was traveling in a 2024 Honda CR-V on I-75 southbound, approaching the exit for State Route 725, when his vehicle traveled off the right side of the road into the grass and struck an overhead light pole.

Excessive speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.
