In addition to the crashes, an Ohio State Highway Patrol dispatcher said multiple vehicles had slid off the highway.
There were at least five crashes involving eight vehicles reported between 11:53 a.m. and 12:24 p.m., according to crash reported filed by OSHP.
Two of the crashes involved unsafe lane changes, two involved vehicles swerving to avoid another crash and one was from failure to maintain clear distance.
One person was taken to Miami Valley Hospital North with minor injuries, according to the crash reports.
Heavy snow showers exited the region late Friday morning, but additional light snowfall is still possible, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Any additional accumulation will be limited. However, motorists should be cautious and watch for slick spots as freezing temperatures tonight could cause icy patches on the road.
