An initial investigation showed that a Chevrolet Impala was in the left lane when it changed into the middle lane. At that point, it was hit by a Volvo semi-trailer, according to a spokesperson for the Ohio State Highway Patrol on Friday.
That impact caused the Impala to get pushed into the right lane, where it was hit by a Toyota Camry.
Both the Impala and Camry then ran off the road and hit a guardrail. The Camry then overturned, troopers said.
