WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Three people were injured in a crash that involved a military convoy on I-75 in West Chester.

Ohio State Highway Patrol said a preliminary investigation found a U.S. Army Humvee and a 2024 Freightliner Cascadia tractor-trailer were in the I-275 exit lane at around 11 a.m. Wednesday when the Humvee made a lane change into the middle before returning to the exit lane.

The Humvee hit the side of the Freightliner, traveling back into a middle lane and hitting a 2018 Peterbilt tractor-trailer. The Humvee then traveled off the road, overturning into a tree line.

One of the people inside the Humvee was ejected from the vehicle. He was taken to UC Medical Center with serious injuries. The driver and an additional passenger were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The drivers of the Freightliner and Peterbilt were not injured in the crash.

The road was shut down for at least an hour. OSHP said its Hamilton Post is investigating.
