OHIO — A 19-year-old from Avon Lake was killed in a crash on Interstate 71 early Tuesday morning, according to the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office and Montgomery police.

The victim, identified as Nicholas James Perry, died after his vehicle crashed into a guardrail at 1:39 a.m., Montgomery Police Sgt. Ken Bertz said.

Perry was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash led to the closure of all southbound lanes of I-71 at Pfeiffer Road until shortly before 5:30 a.m.

The crash remains under investigation.
