ANNA — The fatal three-vehicle crash that claimed a Michigan woman’s life Monday afternoon on Interstate 75 remains under investigation.
According to a press release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, front passenger Stacie M. Jones, 44, of Roseville, Michigan, was ejected from the red 2007 Ford that was driven by Clayton Reed, 44, also from Roseville, Michigan. Jones was pronounced dead on the scene.
Reed was originally traveling southbound on I-75 when he lost control of the vehicle, went across the grassy median and struck a white, commercial 2012 Mack truck hauling a box trailer, that was driven by Travis P. Light, 26, of Cincinnati.
A third vehicle, also a commercial vehicle, was involved in the crash investigation, the release said, when it struck the debris field as it attempted to avoid the other vehicles.
Reed was transported by Anna Rescue to Lima Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Light was not injured in the crash, the release said.
CareFlight was called to the scene but left without taking a patient.
Anna Rescue and Botkins Fire, the Ohio State Patrol and the Ohio Department of Transportation responded to the scene.
The northbound lanes were closed for about two hours to process the scene and clean up the large debris field.
The crash remains under investigation.
