A 2021 Mazda CX-5, driven by a 29-year-old Orlando, Florida, man, was headed south on I-71 when he fell asleep and drove through the median into the northbound lanes and struck the 2018 Dodge Ram driven by Joseph Shilling.
The pickup overturned and its trailer detached. Shilling and his wife were not injured.
The Orlando man was taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening, the report stated.
Two other vehicles headed north on I-71 — a 2020 GMC Sierra driven by a 60-year-old Kettering man and a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse driven by a 60-year-old Finneytown woman — struck debris left by the trailer. None of the drivers or passengers were hurt.
