Columbus, OH (July 2, 2025) – A vehicle collision at the intersection of Lockbourne Rd and Reeb Ave on Tuesday resulted in injuries and emergency response activity on the south side of Columbus. The crash occurred during daylight hours and caused significant traffic delays in the area.
Two vehicles reportedly collided while navigating the intersection, with one vehicle sustaining major front-end damage and coming to a stop near the sidewalk. The impact was strong enough to draw the attention of nearby pedestrians and motorists, many of whom called for help before first responders arrived.
Emergency crews from Columbus Fire quickly arrived and began evaluating those involved. Several individuals sustained injuries, and at least one was taken to a nearby hospital for further medical attention. Officials have not yet confirmed the number of victims or the extent of their injuries.
Investigators are currently reviewing the scene to determine what caused the collision. Possible contributing factors include failure to yield, inattentive driving, or intersection obstruction. The intersection remained partially blocked for an extended period while crews completed their work and gathered evidence.
Our thoughts are with the injured parties, and we hope for a full and speedy recovery for all involved.
Intersection Collisions in Columbus Neighborhoods
Lockbourne Rd and Reeb Ave serve as key roadways through Columbus’s south side, connecting residential zones with commercial traffic. Intersections like this often carry heightened risks due to visibility challenges, inconsistent speed control, and varying traffic volumes throughout the day.
Crashes at these neighborhood intersections are not uncommon and frequently result in injuries that extend beyond the initial moment of impact. Victims may experience soft tissue injuries, fractures, or even long-term joint or spinal issues that require ongoing treatment. These incidents also create emotional and financial strain for those affected, especially when medical care, work absence, and insurance complications follow.
Improving safety at intersections like Lockbourne and Reeb involves both infrastructure changes—such as improved signal timing and signage—and consistent driver caution. Until those improvements are fully realized, quick emergency response and reliable follow-up care remain critical for those involved in such crashes.
