How the Crash on Eastbound I-70 Unfolded
Troopers and medics were called to the road just before 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Castiaux was driving a Mazda CX-3 in the middle lane when it struck the rear of a Volkswagen Passat. The patrol said the Passat was stopped in that lane and facing eastbound. Medics transported Castiaux to Soin Medical Center, where she was treated for minor injuries. The patrol said the Volkswagen's driver left on foot and has not been identified.
Where the Highway Patrol Investigation Stands
Troopers are still investigating the collision. Troopers kept the middle and right lanes of I-70 closed for about two hours while they worked the scene. No charges have been announced.
Police often share a description of the vehicle they are looking for, such as its color or the damage it may have. Those details help people nearby recognize it.
