According to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner, fire officials said the three-vehicle crash occurred about 7 a.m. Monday between the Calcutta and East Liverpool exits. A southbound lane was shut down so a helicopter could land and take the woman to the hospital.

Danielle Boyer, 27, of Youngstown is hospitalized with injuries that investigators say are not life-threatening. Boyer was cited for failure to control her vehicle.

There was no further information about any additional injuries to anyone in the other vehicles.
