UPDATE: I-75 North at Wagner Ford Road in Dayton open again after crash, diesel leak

DAYTON — UPDATE @ 6:19 p.m.: I-75 North at Wagner Ford Road in Dayton has reopened following a shutdown of nearly four hours Thursday because of a five-vehicle crash that involved a semitrailer that leaked diesel fuel because of a punctured tank, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.

Four vehicles and the semitrailer were involved in the crash reported on the interstate between the Wagner Ford Road and Stanley Avenue exits about 2:46 p.m., the sheriff’s office said.

All northbound lanes, as well as the on-ramp from Stanley Avenue, were shut down because of the wreck and the fuel leaking from the big rig.

Although some of the occupants of other vehicles were assessed by emergency medical personnel, no injuries were reported, according to the sheriff’s office.

The accident remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office.
