A man is dead after a semi-truck collision in Springdale Friday morning.
It happened on the exit ramp from eastbound Interstate 275 to Springfield Pike at 10:17 a.m. Hamilton County deputies and Springdale police were dispatched to the scene for a report of a fatal crash.
According to a press release from the Springdale Police Department, 57-year-old Darren Hayes, of Miamisburg, was standing on the outside of his disabled Kenworth truck.
It was parked off of the lane of travel on the right shoulder.
While he was standing alongside the truck, a Volvo tractor and semi-truck was traveling on the exit ramp.
The driver of the Volvo then entered the emergency shoulder and collided with Hayes and his truck, the press release said.
Due to the collision’s impact, Hayes was knocked to the ground and was trapped underneath the tires of his truck.
Springdale fire crews were dispatched to the scene and were able to get Hayes out from under the truck, but he was pronounced dead.
The other driver was not injured.
