An incident involving a Rumpke garbage truck caused major delays for travelers on I-75 early Thursday morning. The vehicle collided with a concrete median close to Ezzard Charles Drive at around five in the morning, toppling over and dumping debris across the highway. All lanes have reopened, however the collision temporarily reduced northbound and southbound traffic to one lane each, according to Local12.
According to Rumpke representative Molly Yeager, the driver of the Rumpke car was taken to UC Medical Center right away with injuries that were deemed non-life-threatening. “Our thoughts are with him as he receives treatment,” Yeager added, adding that the Cincinnati Police Department and the team are working together to continue cleaning up the crash site. This data was gathered during a FOX19 program that described a number of additional regional accidents brought on by wet roadways.
In fact, a number of collisions during the morning commute were caused by the rainfall. The stalled semi on NB I-75 near Western Hills Viaduct and an incident on SB I-75 past Cincinnati-Dayton Road, where the left two lanes were closed, were among the other crash sites in addition to the Rumpke truck disaster.Details of these secondary events were reported by FOX19, indicating that many drivers had a difficult start to the day.
All obstacles have been removed, and traffic flow on I-75 has resumed since the Rumpke truck crash scene was cleared. According to officials, there are now no threats to road safety and the driver is being treated for his injuries. According to WLWT, the public could access real-time traffic reports for anyone attempting to negotiate the aftermath of the morning’s interruptions. The quick reaction reduced the possibility of long-term traffic jams that day by effectively clearing the route. Drivers are urged to exercise caution on the roadways as the forecasts indicate a range of weather conditions in the days ahead.
