Accident – death – Obituary News : Northern Kentucky Authorities Investigate Tragic death of Pedestrian on Interstate 75

In a heartbreaking turn of events, law enforcement agencies in Northern Kentucky are currently investigating a fatal accident involving a pedestrian who was struck by a semitractor-trailer on Interstate 75. According to Sgt. Charles Duncan of the Kenton County Police Department, the incident occurred when the semi was merging onto the interstate from a weigh station, while a pedestrian was walking along the fog line in the right lane.

The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Ronreaco Williams, who was tragically struck by the semi. Sgt. Duncan expressed that Williams may not have been aware of his proximity to the vehicle, as the driver initially believed he had hit a deer. Even when law enforcement arrived at the scene, the driver was still under the impression that he had collided with a deer. Williams was wearing dark clothing at the time of the accident, which may have contributed to the driver’s misperception.

As news of this devastating incident spread, officers from the Kenton County Police Department, Independence Police Department, and Boone County Sheriff’s Office swiftly responded to the area. The call reporting the pedestrian crash was made just before 5:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, as reported by WLWT.

According to authorities, the semi-truck driver pulled off at an exit before contacting emergency services. The driver, identified as 57-year-old Gary Jones from Willowick, Ohio, cooperated fully with the ongoing investigation.

It is worth noting that this tragic incident comes just five days after another fatal pedestrian accident occurred on the same stretch of interstate, mere miles away. The Boone County Sheriff’s Office has been handling the previous case.

The safety of pedestrians on busy highways remains a critical concern, and incidents like these serve as a stark reminder for both drivers and pedestrians to exercise caution. As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement agencies will work tirelessly to determine the circumstances surrounding this devastating accident, offering solace and closure to the victim’s family and loved ones.
