Two Men Killed in Fiery SUV Crash in Madison Township Identified
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has officially identified the two men who tragically died in a fiery SUV crash in Madison Township, Ohio, on September 22. The victims, 27-year-old Elhadji Amadou Sow and 30-year-old Abdoulaye Ly, were both residents of Columbus.
Sow and Ly were traveling north on Green Pointe Drive South in a 2004 Honda CR-V when their vehicle struck the rear of a stationary 2000 Freightliner tractor-trailer. The trailer had stopped to enter a warehouse driveway. Emergency crews had to extricate both men from the SUV, but unfortunately, they were pronounced dead at the scene around 3:30 p.m.
Investigators reported that Sow, who was driving, was traveling at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred. The exact speed is still under investigation, though the posted speed limit on Green Pointe Drive South is 35 mph. The tractor-trailer driver was unharmed. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Accident Investigation Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
