The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said the truck that crashed Saturday morning, killing the driver, was carrying about 7,500 gallons of diesel. A nearby creek briefly caught fire, and the agency worked to stop the spread of the fuel. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash happened at about 9:15 a.m. The truck had been travelling northbound on State Route 8 and attempted to get on Interstate 271 north when the driver lost control.
