MONROE TWP., Ohio — One man is dead after being hit by at least two vehicles on State Route 125 Monday morning, Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

OSHP identified the victim as 39-year-old Robert D. Love.

Troopers were called to the scene, just west of East Fork State Park on 125, at approximately 1:30 a.m.

A trooper said Love was walking shirtless along the highway when at least two drivers hit him.

OSHP said the drivers fled the scene driving westbound on the highway.

According to OSHP, a woman saw Love's body on the road while driving to work and called the police.

OSHP also said it was "strange" that there were no car parts on the highway.

“We don’t have any car parts, no headlight assemblies, no grill parts, no imprints of a vehicle," Lieutenant Dexter Howard with OSHP said. "It was a pretty significant impact so that’s typically there would be something laying in the roadway. It's not showing at the moment.”

There were no witnesses and no cameras in the area, OSHP said.

OSHP said they do not have any information about the two drivers or vehicle descriptions.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Batavia at 513-732-1510.
