Columbus, OH (November 29, 2024) – A two-car crash occurred early Friday morning on Interstate 71 South, closing two right lanes beyond East Hudson Street. The crash was reported at 5:40 a.m., prompting emergency services to rush to the scene. According to local authorities, both individuals involved in the crash were transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
Emergency responders, including firefighters, were on-site to assist with the extrication of the cars. The collision, which involved two cars, led to a temporary blockage of the right lanes on I-71 South. Traffic cameras showed the lanes were closed until at least 6:30 a.m. and were reopened by 10:45 a.m. after the wreckage was cleared and the injured parties were safely transported.
Authorities managed the situation effectively, controlling traffic flow and ensuring safety for both the responders and commuters.
