Marble Cliff, OH (June 12, 2026) – One man died Thursday night, June 11, after being struck by two vehicles on Dublin Road in the Village of Marble Cliff.
The accident was reported just after 10:30 p.m. Emergency units arrived and found 61-year-old Curtis Wilson of Columbus with serious injuries.
Wilson was brought to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in critical condition. He later died from his injuries.
A preliminary report said Wilson was walking in the southbound lanes of Dublin Road when he was hit by a Mazda sedan. He was then struck by a Toyota SUV.
Both drivers remained at the scene and were not injured. The southbound lanes of Dublin Road were closed for several hours during the investigation before reopening.
The fatal crash remains under review as more information is gathered. We extend our sincere condolences to Wilson’s family and loved ones.
Pedestrian Crashes on Dark Roads Bring Serious Risks
Pedestrian crashes at night can be especially dangerous because drivers may have less time to see someone in or near a travel lane. Darkness, glare, road curves, and nearby traffic can all affect visibility.
When more than one vehicle is involved, the sequence can be difficult to understand at first. Investigators may need to review where the pedestrian was positioned, how each vehicle approached, and whether lighting or traffic flow played a part.
Road closures may last for several hours after a fatal pedestrian crash while emergency units document the roadway and collect evidence. Later updates may clarify vehicle speed, lane position, witness statements, and the moments before contact. These details help explain how the collision happened and why the injuries proved fatal.
