Forest Park, OH (June 26, 2025) — A man was killed early Wednesday morning after being struck by multiple vehicles on Interstate 275 in Forest Park, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
According to reports, the crash occurred around 5:00 a.m. on June 25 in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 275. Authorities say the unidentified man, believed to be in his late 20s, ran into traffic and was first clipped by a pickup truck’s side mirror.
The man then stood in the center lane, where a woman driving a minivan attempted to avoid him by swerving into the right lane. Police say the man moved in the same direction, prompting the driver to swerve back to the center—where the pedestrian also moved. The minivan struck him, and he was subsequently run over by a third vehicle in the left lane.
Emergency crews pronounced the man dead at the scene. His identity has not yet been released. The eastbound lanes of Interstate 275 were closed for approximately three hours and reopened shortly after 8:00 a.m.
