GIRARD, Oho- One man has died after a car accident on Interstate 80.

A car accident was reported about a 100 yards east of US Route 422 on Interstate 80.

A tractor trailer driving northbound on the Interstate crossed the median and ran into a Ford pickup truck before landing in a ditch.

Interstate 80 eastbound has reopened, however the Ohio State Highway Patrol says westbound lanes are closed until further notice.
