On Thursday, October 24 at approximately 11:15 p.m., a semi hauling corn was traveling east on I-80/94 at the 3 mile-marker. This is near the Kennedy Ave overpass. Investigation by Trooper Regen Smith revealed that as the semi drove in the 2nd lane, the driver, John Cameron, from Luray, Virginia, reportedly fell asleep at the wheel.
The semi then drove to the left and struck the center concrete barrier wall as well as the bridge support for the Kennedy Ave. overpass. The trailer was ripped open resulting in the corn being spilled upon portions of the eastbound lanes. The remainder of the trailer's contents were offloaded by the company, Randy Ryan Trucking of Polk, Ohio. The bridge will be inspected for damage on Friday 10/25/2019.
