A 60-year-old Middletown man killed Friday afternoon in a one-vehicle crash has been identified by the Butler County Coroner’s Office.

David Sias died of multiple traumatic injuries at the scene of the North University Boulevard crash. Sias’ death has been ruled an accident.

The crash happened about 3:35 p.m. on North University when a Dodge Ram rolled several times while traveling north just past the Reinartz overpass. The pick up truck came to rest at 401 North University, according to Middletown Sgt. Ryan Rogers.

Sias, who was the sole occupant, was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Rogers, who is a member of the Butler County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team, said the crash remains under investigation, but he is investigating “speed and impairment as possible causative factors and well as loss of the motor vehicle.”
