A preliminary investigation by the sheriff’s office revealed that a woman, subsequently identified as 18-year-old Lauren Collins of Independence, was driving south on I-75 when her windscreen was struck by a tyre.

Deputies believe another vehicle, likely a dual pickup truck, was travelling north on I-75 when its tyre abruptly blew out, causing it to lose control and crash into Collins’ vehicle after sliding over the concrete barrier.

Collins was extricated by the Walton Fire Department and transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Centre, where she subsequently succumbed to her injuries.

The investigation is being conducted by the Accident Reconstruction Team of the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle that lost a tyre on northbound I-75 has not been located.
