Officials say that buses were used to collect and take people from the scene of the accident to a nearby facility to keep them warm in freezing temperatures.
No details have been released on the cause of the crash or of the person killed in the accident.
But officials say that the initial crashes began at around 11.45am, with two people injured in a five-car crash.
The Ohio Turnpike is closed in both directions with eastbound traffic being diverted off at exit 91 at State Route 53.
Westbound traffic is being diverted off at exit 118 at State Route 250.
