An accident Thursday evening sent one man to Miami Valley Hospital with life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitial reports indicate that the driver of the car was in the center lane, tried to slingshot off the ramp and struck a semi,\u201d said Sgt. Jason Cadle of the Ohio State Patrol.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred just before 9:30 Thursday evening on I-70 at the Spangler Rd. exit. Both vehicles were westbound on I-70.<\/p>\n
Eddie Dixon, age 72, of Dayton, the driver of the car, was in serious condition at last report. He was not wearing his seat belt.<\/p>\n
Cadle said that the semi dragged the car along the barrier and Dixon was ejected.<\/p>\n
The Hazmat Team was called to handle a diesel fuel leak.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have witnesses who said that the car cut the semi off,\u201d said Cadle, but that filing of charges would have to wait until the investigation is complete.<\/p>\n
The driver of the semi, Jeffery Kupetz, age 23 of Wooster, was not injured.<\/p>\n
Initial reports also indicated that shortly after the accident, another semi skidded off the left side of the left lane and nearly struck a Clark County Deputy.<\/p>\n
I-70 traffic was rerouted onto the Spangler Rd. exit, then back onto the highway.<\/p>\n
The incident remains under investigation by the Ohio State Patrol.<\/p>\n
The troopers were assisted by Mad River and Bethel Fire Departments, the Clark County Sheriff\u2019s Department and the Clark County Hazmat Team.<\/p>\n
