Woman Killed in East Columbus Head-On Crash
A woman has died and another was hospitalized following a head-on crash Monday evening on the east side of Columbus, according to local authorities.
Columbus Police reported that the collision occurred around 7:24 p.m. on East 17th Avenue near Rarig Avenue. Investigators say a vehicle exited a parking lot and attempted to merge westbound onto East 17th Avenue as another car was already traveling in that direction.
In an effort to avoid the entering vehicle, the westbound driver crossed the center line and entered oncoming traffic, where the car collided head-on with an eastbound vehicle.
The driver who crossed into the opposite lane was transported to OSU East Hospital in stable condition but later deteriorated. She was pronounced dead shortly after, police confirmed.
The second driver involved was taken to OSU Wexner Medical Center and is reported to be in stable condition.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash and are asking anyone with information to contact the Columbus Police Department Accident Investigation Unit at (614) 645-4767.
