Miamisburg crews were sent to Miamisburg Centerville Road near Interstate 75 on reports of a injury crash at about 2:58 a.m. Sunday.

One vehicle traveled east on Miamisburg Centerville Road and stopped at a red light at the intersection with the I-75 southbound ramps while a second vehicle was stopped at the intersection in the lane south of the first vehicle, according to an affidavit.

Ridner exited off I-75 South and headed toward the exit ramp south and the intersection, where he failed to navigate the turn safely and traveled through the intersection and over the raised median and struck vehicle one, the file stated.

This resulted in the first vehicle and the second vehicle crashing into Ridner. Additional witnesses confirmed Ridner failed to turn and hit the first vehicle’s side, according to the affidavit.

The driver of the first was transported to the hospital. They had two fractured ribs, two missing teeth, as well as various bumps and bruises, according to court documents.

An officer noted Ridner’s speech was slurred and that he was lethargic and had glassy eyes, the affidavit said.

“Daniel admitted to coming from a birthday part in Dayton after two or three beers,” the document read.

Ridner reportedly declined to take a field sobriety test.

He was transported to the police station and an officer gave Ridner a breath test. The test determined Ridner had a BrAC of 0.167. The legal limit in Ohio is 0.08.

Ridner remains in custody in the Montgomery County Jail.
