Highway Ramp Collisions Common in Columbus’s Interchange Network
Interchanges like I-670 and OH-315 are high-risk areas where vehicles merge and diverge at high speeds. The complexity of lane changes, combined with sudden slowdowns or driver misjudgments, makes these ramps particularly prone to injury collisions. In many cases, rear-end or side-impact crashes occur when vehicles attempt to merge too quickly or fail to anticipate slowed traffic ahead.
I-670 serves as a vital corridor through downtown Columbus, carrying both commuter and through-traffic. Disruptions at major ramps like OH-315 often cause ripple effects across the surrounding roadways, heightening the danger for all drivers in the area.
Motorists are urged to reduce speed when approaching interchange ramps, allow space for merging vehicles, and remain alert to changing traffic patterns.
