3 People Hospitalized After Multi‑Vehicle Crash Shuts Down I‑70 Westbound in Downtown Columbus
A serious multi‑vehicle collision occurred Thursday morning on westbound Interstate 70 (I‑70) near the I‑70/71 split in downtown Columbus. According to Columbus police, the crash involved two semi-trucks and a sedan, resulting in three people being hospitalized. Two victims are reported in stable condition, while one remains in critical condition.
Authorities have dispatched a hazmat team due to a suspected fuel leak, resulting in the closure of the westbound lanes through the downtown area. Traffic is being rerouted onto Interstate 71 (I‑71) North. Currently, there is no estimated reopening time for I‑70 westbound, though eastbound lanes remain open.
Drivers are advised to follow detour signs and avoid the area if possible.
