Columbus, OH (August 4, 2025) – Several people were injured Sunday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of E Broad St and Taylor Ave. The collision occurred in the heart of Columbus’s Near East Side, leading to emergency lane closures and a prompt response from Columbus Fire and EMS.
Passersby reported that the vehicles involved sustained extensive damage, with one car pushed into a sidewalk area following the impact. Medics arrived quickly and assessed multiple individuals for injuries. At least one person was transported to a nearby hospital for further care, while others received treatment at the scene for less serious conditions.
