CLAY TOWNSHIP — A Greenville man is dead after a dump truck hit an overpass while doing roadwork on Interstate 70 in Montgomery County Thursday morning.
Deputies were called to respond to the crash at approximately 2:21 a.m. on I-70 eastbound, milepost 24, in Clay Township, according to a spokesperson for the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a Mack commercial dump truck driven by Carson McKee, age 50, from Greenville, was heading eastbound on I-70.
McKee, who was working as a contractor on an active paving operation on I-70, failed to lower his dump bed and struck the overpass for SR 49.
The vehicle overturned, and McKee was thrown from the vehicle.
McKee was pronounced dead on the scene.
The crash is still under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
