OHIO — A 77-year-old Ashland woman died Thursday evening in a crash on U.S. Route 42 that shut down the highway for about three hours, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred around 6:50 p.m. near state Route 603.
Authorities said the semi-truck, driven by a man from Noblesville, Indiana, was turning left from a private drive onto U.S. Route 42 when the collision happened.
