By NCPA Staff, NorthCentralPA.com June 14, 2022 Clinton County Coroner Zach Hanna identified the man killed in the multi vehicle crash on Monday night on I-80 in Green Township. In a news release sent Tuesday, Hanna said Mirzod Ayubov, 55, from Brooklyn, N.Y. died at 7:25 p.m. on June 13. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday at the Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. State police say the man died in a five-vehicle crash on I-80 westbound in Greene Township, Clinton County. Trooper Lauren Lesher, public information officer for Troop F, said the man was a passenger in a commercial vehicle that had rear-ended another vehicle as it slowed down for a backlog due to a construction zone. The driver of the vehicle was injured. Lesher said it is believed they were not wearing seatbelts. The collision resulted in a multi-vehicle crash at mile marker 186.6 near the Loganton exit, as a fully loaded commercial bus with 55 passengers also was struck, Lesher said. The bus then struck the vehicle ahead of it, causing that vehicle to hit another vehicle. The crash occurred near a construction zone with posted warnings to slow down. Interstate 80 westbound was closed through 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, as drivers were detoured at mile marker 210 in White Deer Township, Union County, to use Interstate 180 and Route 220.
