The video was obtained by a News Center 7 public records request to the Ohio Department of Transportation. The footage is from the ODOT camera on I-70 at Brandt Pike, where the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Doniell Snow, 55, entered the highway and started traveling the wrong-way.

Footage shows Snow’s Chevy Tahoe travel up the eastbound exit ramp to Brandt Pike and nearly hit a car trying to exit. Moments later the camera captured the first crash in the sequence of events, the crash that injured a 25-year-old man and his passenger who attempted to avoid the SUV driven by Snow.

The footage does not show the second crash in the sequence that led to the deaths of Snow and 18-year-olds Natalie Daly and her boyfriend Nevin Vince. That crash happened about a half-mile away from the Brandt Pike exit and also resulted in critical injuries to the driver of a third car, driven by a 33-year-old man.

In a news conference Tuesday, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Snow left a bar and ended up driving the wrong way on the interstate.
