OSHP investigating after crash takes down overhead sign on I-70 in Butler Twp

A 45-year-old man driving the tractor-trailer went off the right side of the road and hit a guardrail and signpost.

“The impact caused the overhead sign to fall onto the eastbound lanes of I-70 and block the roadway,” said OHSP Sgt. Ryan Purpura.

The driver was not injured, and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

A detour was created following the crash and vehicles on I-70 E were diverted onto state Route 48. The highway fully reopened just before 6 a.m. Friday, Purpura said.

The Clayton Fire Department, Englewood Police Department and Ohio Department of Transportation assisted at the scene.
