Columbus, OH (February 21, 2025) – A three-vehicle crash in the Greater Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus left multiple people injured on February 21.
Police and emergency crews responded to the intersection of West Broad Street and Midland Avenue shortly after 12 p.m. after reports of a multi-vehicle collision. Upon arrival, responders found three damaged vehicles blocking the roadway. Paramedics provided medical treatment at the scene and transported at least one injured person to a local hospital for further care. The crash caused delays in the area as authorities worked to investigate the cause of the accident and remove the vehicles from the scene. The investigation remains ongoing.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Ohio
Three-car collisions can cause serious injuries, especially in busy intersections. According to available Ohio traffic data, in 2021 multi-vehicle crashes accounted for 51% of fatal crashes in Ohio, and the state recorded approximately 265,000 total motor vehicle accidents in 2022, though specific breakdowns of multi-vehicle versus single-vehicle crashes for all accidents are not readily available in public ODPS reports. These accidents frequently result from factors like speeding, distracted driving, or failure to yield, and can lead to injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more severe conditions like broken bones or head trauma.
Here are a few key things to know about multi-vehicle accidents:
- Liability Can Be Complex – Determining who is at fault in a three-car crash can be challenging. A thorough investigation is often needed to identify the responsible party.
