INITIAL REPORT
We are hearing reports that Dayton police have closed I-75 North and are redirecting traffic off at the state Route 48/Main Street exit.
According to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch, this is in connection to a hit-and-run investigation. The driver of a semi truck told police that an SUV side-swiped his trailer then ran into a wall.
He then said that the occupants of the SUV got into another vehicle and fled.
