Columbus, OH (June 23, 2025) – A pedestrian was injured Sunday evening after being struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Sullivant Ave and Wedgewood Dr on the city’s west side. The incident prompted a rapid emergency response and resulted in one individual being transported to a local hospital.
According to initial reports, the pedestrian was crossing the intersection when they were hit by an oncoming vehicle. Bystanders rushed to assist while 911 dispatchers sent EMS and Columbus Fire crews to the scene. Responders provided immediate care to the injured individual, who was later taken to a nearby medical facility with injuries described as moderate but non-life-threatening.
Traffic in the area was slowed as officers from the Columbus Division of Police conducted an on-site investigation and helped manage detours around the intersection.

Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio
The collision at Sullivant Ave and Wedgewood Dr serves as a powerful reminder of the risks pedestrians face, even in well-traveled neighborhood corridors. Columbus, like many Ohio cities, continues to see rising numbers of pedestrian-involved accidents, particularly in areas where foot traffic intersects with multi-lane roadways.
This specific intersection is known for its high volume of both vehicular and pedestrian activity, with limited protected crossing points. Crashes involving pedestrians often lead to serious injuries due to the lack of physical protection for those on foot. In this case, the victim’s prompt medical care likely played a vital role in preventing more severe outcomes.
Beyond physical recovery, victims of pedestrian accidents may experience disruptions in income, ongoing therapy needs, and emotional trauma. Injured pedestrians must understand their rights and options, particularly when the crash involves negligence or failure to yield.
