Columbus, OH (August 20, 2025) – Emergency personnel were called to the scene of a vehicle collision with injuries Wednesday at the intersection of Stelzer Rd and Agler Rd in the northeastern part of Columbus. First responders, including paramedics and fire crews, arrived swiftly and provided on-site care to individuals injured in the crash.
The incident occurred in a high-traffic corridor near residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, just northeast of the John Glenn Columbus International Airport. At least two vehicles were reportedly involved, and multiple individuals sustained a variety of injuries. Paramedics were seen assessing victims at the scene, though authorities have not yet released details about hospital transports or the total number of people involved.
The crash caused delays in the surrounding area as police temporarily redirected traffic to allow emergency crews space to operate safely. Roadway hazards such as fluid spills and vehicle debris were cleared before the intersection was reopened later in the morning.
The Columbus Division of Police is actively investigating the cause of the accident. Preliminary reports have not confirmed whether speed, distracted driving, or intersection violations contributed to the collision.
Our thoughts are with those injured in this incident, and we wish them a full recovery in the days ahead.
