Circleville, OH (May 29, 2026) – A woman died Thursday afternoon after a multi-vehicle collision at the intersection of US Route 23 and Circle Lane in Circleville. The accident was reported at approximately 1:38 PM.
Marilyn Gregg was driving a 2017 Hyundai Tucson northbound on US-23, waiting to turn left onto Circle Lane. A 2018 Toyota Corolla and a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado were both traveling southbound on US-23 at the same time. Gregg failed to yield while turning, striking the Corolla and then the Silverado, which then pushed the Tucson into a ditch.
A 2020 Hyundai Sonata that was stopped at the traffic light was also struck by debris from the crash, but Gregg was the only person hurt. She was taken to Berger Hospital and later flown to Grant Medical Center in Columbus, where she was pronounced dead.
No additional injuries were reported among those in the other vehicles. The wreck remains under investigation, and further details will be released as they become available. We offer our deepest condolences to Marilyn Gregg’s family and all who knew her.
What Typically Causes Left-Turn Crashes at Intersections in Ohio?
Left-turn collisions are among the most common types of intersection crashes. When a driver turning left fails to yield to oncoming traffic, the timing gap between vehicles can close faster than expected, especially on higher-speed roads like US routes. In multi-vehicle crashes, the force of one collision can set off a chain reaction: pushing one vehicle into another or sending debris across the road. Ohio law requires turning drivers to yield to all oncoming vehicles before completing a turn. When a crash results in a fatality, the sequence of vehicle movements becomes a key part of the review, with investigators examining road markings, signal timing, and physical evidence to establish what each driver did in the moments before contact.
