Car Accidents in Ohio
Interstate collisions in Ohio, particularly during high-traffic times, often result in serious injuries due to high speeds and dense congestion. This morning’s crash along I-670 E highlights how quickly a routine commute can escalate into a critical emergency—especially in urban corridors like Columbus’ Shepard neighborhood, where merging ramps and frequent lane changes increase risk.
