Isaac Santos, 36, of Gettysburg, PA, was flying a Bell 206L-4 helicopter near Interstate 70 in Clark County when it struck power lines. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The helicopter lost control as it was being used by the aerial application business “Helicopter Applicators Inc.” and crashed into a field on East Possum Road.
Power lines fell onto both Eastbound and Westbound Interstate 70 and caused seven vehicles to be involved in minor crashes, OSHP said.
I-70 was closed in both directions for five hours while Ohio Edison removed the high-voltage lines from the freeway.
No other injuries were reported.
The incident remains under investigation by the OSHP, FAA, and NTSB.
