A 74-year-old man has died days after a violent single-vehicle crash on Interstate 71 near the I-275 interchange in Montgomery, according to police and family.

Relatives identified the driver as Emmett Feck, who was injured in the crash last Tuesday and died on Saturday from those injuries. Family and funeral listings show services are planned in Milford later this week.

Police report lays out what happened

According to WKRC, the police report states that Feck was driving northbound on I-71 when his vehicle left the roadway, crossed three lanes of traffic, and slammed into a concrete median near the I-275 interchange.

He was taken from the scene to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The report, as described by WKRC, does not list a cause for the crash or explain why the vehicle left the roadway.
