TOLEDO, Ohio — Police have identified the victim of a fatal crash involving his car and a semi-tractor trailer cab on Friday afternoon.
The crash happened around 3:45 p.m. southbound at the I-475/I-75 split heading toward I-475 in west Toledo just past Jeep Parkway.
Police say the driver of the trailer cab, 35-year-old Hakim Niazi, lost control while negotiating the curve and went across the median, hitting a car driven by 41-year-old Michael McCarter of Toledo.
The car was pinned under the trailer cab and McCarter had to be extricated from the vehicle after the cab was lifted off using a specialized crane.
McCarter was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced later dead.
Niazi was not injured. The road was closed for about three hours due to the crash.
