By 11:45 a.m., crews closed the highway again.
Four people were taken to an area hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, officials said.
The crash involved 11 cars and 4 semi-tractor trailers. Fog was reported to be extremely dense in the area, and first responders were warned to use “extreme caution.”
Mutual aid was requested from several jurisdictions, as officials didn’t know how serious the crash would be.
The Ohio Department of Transportation is encouraging motorists to take the detour route of Ohio 4 to Ohio 40 to I-70 East.
