The Hamilton County Coroner reported an unidentified male pedestrian died as a result of the crash on I-275.

The highway shutdown spanned from just after 6 a.m. until after 8 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Earlier, during the closure, traffic cameras showed crews placed orange cones fully blocking all eastbound lanes of I-275 and drivers were being diverted onto Hamilton Avenue.
