The Humvee returned to the right middle lane, and in the process, police said, it hit a 2018 Peterbilt truck.

The collision caused the Humvee to go off the road and flip into the nearby tree line, according to police.

The person who was ejected from the vehicle was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and police said the person is expected to be okay.

As for the other two passengers, they were transported to a nearby hospital and are also expected to be okay, police told the station.

Police added that the drivers of the trucks involved in the crash were not injured.

All lanes of the interstate were shut down as a result of the crash, though by noon, at least two of the lanes were reopened.
