The driver of the sedan then ran across the interstate, jumping the barrier into the southbound lanes, where a commercial vehicle hit him.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Just before the I-75 incident, the man was suspected of stealing the sedan from a 67-year-old man at the Greyhound bus station in south Toledo.
The 67-year-old man was dragged by his sedan after the suspect had stolen it before he let it go free a half a mile away on South Erie Street, according to a police report.
The 67-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
