One person died in a crash on Interstate 70 on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the Eastbound lanes between State Route 4 and Enon Rd.<\/p>\n
According to witnesses, a Pathfinder was eastbound and apparently had mechanical problems because a witness said that smoke was coming from the vehicle. The driver of the Pathfinder turned on his 4-way flashers and tried to merge to the right to get to the shoulder. When he entered the right lane, he was struck from behind by a semi. The pathfinder then began to spin, struck another semi and caught fire.<\/p>\n
The second semi did not stop and Troopers began a search for it.<\/p>\n
Bethel and Mad River medics worked on the driver of the Pathfinder but their efforts were in vain.<\/p>\n
Careflight was called, but they soon realized that their services were not needed.<\/p>\n
Interstate 70 was closed and traffic was routed onto Route 4, then Enon Rd., then back onto I-70.<\/p>\n
The incident is under investigation by the Springfield Post of the Ohio State Patrol. We will update this story when we are notified of the results of their investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
