CINCINNATI (AP) — Police say they found a motorist shot to death, slumped over in his bullet-riddled car on an Ohio urban highway.

Cincinnati police describe the man as in his 20s but have released no other information about the death early today. They tell multiple media outlets they responded to the scene before 3 a.m. on a report of a crash.

The westbound lanes of the Norwood Lateral that connects Interstates 75 and 71 reopened at around 6:40 a.m. after being closed nearly four hours. The car was near an I-75 ramp.
