MARIETTA — A Warren man was killed Saturday afternoon in a single-vehicle accident on Interstate 77 in Washington County, according to the Marietta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

A 2021 Freightliner Cascadia semi driven by Ernest E. Reiner, 53, of Warren, was traveling north on the interstate around 3:30 p.m. when it veered into the median at milepost 12 in Salem Township, a patrol report states. The truck went into the southbound lanes and went off the right side of the road, striking a guardrail and going over a hill. Reiner was pronounced dead at the scene, the patrol said.

The accident remains under investigation, but alcohol or drugs are not suspected as a factor.
