CINCINNATI -- A truck crash spilled hundreds of watermelons Thursday morning across an interstate exchange.
Police said the driver, Kevin Sawley, 50, of Athol, Idaho, was killed when he lost control of a semi-trailer just after 9 a.m.
Investigators said the truck ran into a guardrail and overhead bridge support on the ramp from northbound Interstate 75 to westbound Interstate 74.
The truck rolled over and the trailer was torn open in the crash, throwing its load of fruit across the road and under the overpass.
Authorities said Sawley, who was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the truck, was transporting watermelons from Tifton, Ga., to Yorktown, Ind.
The ramp remained closed until about 7 p.m. while crews cleaned up the fruit.
