Trumbull Co, OH (January 3, 2025) – An injury multi-car crash occurred on Interstate 80 eastbound near the US 62 exit, leaving multiple individuals injured and causing significant traffic disruptions in Trumbull County.

According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, the crash was caused by whiteout conditions and slick roads, which triggered a chain crash.

At least one individual sustained serious injuries and remains under medical care, though no fatalities have been reported at this time.
