PERRYSBURG TWP. (13abc Action News) -- Two separate crashes overnight in the northbound lanes of I-75 have taken the lives of at least two people.
The first accident was around midnight, one mile north of the state line into Michigan.
Three commercial vehicles were involved.
13abc's cameras spotted a tractor-trailer in the ditch, the cab smashed. The trailer of another semi was also heavily damaged.
The Monroe County Sheriff's office says Amarveer Dhugga, 38, of Ontario approached slow moving traffic, when he plowed into a another semi.
Dhugga's semi-truck went off the road and caught fire. He did not survive.
I-75 NB was closed at Alexis Road for more than 8 hours overnight.
Farther south, at mile marker 188, just north of Ohio State Route 582 in Wood County, another person is dead after a crash that happened around 4:45AM.
That single-vehicle rollover closed the northbound lanes of I-75 north of Bowling Green for two and a half hours.
Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol identified the woman who was killed as Kayla Gilden, 22, of Cincinnati.
Gilden was in the back seat of a vehicle that veered off the right side of the roadway, overcorrected, then hit the concrete median barrier.
That impact caused the vehicle to overturn and Gilden, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected.
Troopers say Gilden died from her injuries.
A 19-year-old woman from Toledo was behind the wheel. She was taken to the hospital, treated and released.
Two others inside the vehicle also had minor injuries.
Investigators suspect alcohol or drug use may have been a factor in the crash.
