A 46-year-old Bolivar man is dead after his car crashed on I-77 in Stark County on Friday afternoon.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says Montgomery Miller was going south on 77 in his GMC Sierra pick-up truck when it went off of the left side of the roadway, into the median, and went airborne as it crossed Haut Street, which runs east and west under I-77.

After crossing Haut Street, the truck struck an embankment and eventually ended up on top of a guardrail. Miller was trapped inside his vehicle until the Erie Valley Volunteer Fire Department used mechanical means to free him. Miller was taken by EMS to Aultman Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The crash is under investigation.
