An accident involving two tractor trailers left one on its side and a load of steel coils on the highway just south of the Interstate 75 and Ohio 4 junction in the southbound lanes, Dayton police reported Thursday night, Feb. 4.
A Dayton police officer told dispatchers at 11:54 p.m., “It’s going to be a huge operation out here.”
An officer said no injuries were involved and WHIO-TV reports said witnesses reported the trucks were driving too fast and side-swiped one another.
Police accessed the scene by driving the wrong way up the I-75/North Main Street exit ramp. The highway in this area is under extensive reconstruction under a project to widen I-75 and eliminate the so-called “Malfunction Junction” at I-75 and Ohio 4.
