Wrong Way Driver Kills!

Intentional or not, wrong way driving leads to deadly consequences.

A deadly crash in Dayton.

A Cadillac DTS caused a deadly accident on Interstate 75 in Harrison Township. The Ohio State Patrol confirms two motorists have died in the accident.

Apparently the driver got onto the highway driving southbound in the northbound lanes.

The DTS ended up hitting a Kia Forte. 

The drivers of the DTS and Forte were killed.

Then, the two vehicles crashed into the concrete median and sustained heavy damage, dispatch informed. During the collision, one of the involved vehicles “spun around.”

A northbound 2017 Nissan 4 door also sustained minor damage after being involved in the crash.

There were reported injuries, prompting medical units to respond to the crash, dispatch said.

Ohio slowly installing wrong way detection.

The drivers of the Cadillac and Kia were killed upon impact, the spokesperson informed. Their identities were undisclosed pending the notification of the victims’ next of kin.

The Nissan’s driver did not report any injuries.

In Columbus and Cincinnati, they have wrong way sensor tables that immediately notify local authorities and digital overhead signs will notify motorists to be on the lookout.

Dayton does not have many digital overhead signs on its freeways. Matter of fact, you find only about few in Montgomery County. These signs would have been necessary to warn motorists that a wrong way driver was near. 

Dayton is slow to the party.

This was one of five deadly accidents over the weekend.
