Cincinnati, OH (July 8, 2025) – A crash involving a semi-truck and a car on northbound I-71 caused significant delays Tuesday morning. Preliminary reports suggest the truck may have caused the collision.
Accident Details: The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 8, on I-71 northbound near downtown Cincinnati. The Ohio Department of Transportation confirmed that a semi-truck collided with a passenger vehicle, severely damaging the car and bringing traffic to a standstill for hours. No fatalities have been reported, though the condition of the car’s occupants remains unknown.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Investigators are assessing whether the semi-truck driver was speeding, distracted, or failed to maintain lane control.
