COTA Bus Crash Leaves One Dead

A fatal crash erupted on the East Side of Columbus last night around 7:15 PM at the intersection of Stelzer Road and Allegheny Avenue, where a COTA bus was rear-ended by a pickup truck. The bus was stopped at a red light when the collision occurred — a heartbreaking incident near the VA Medical Center and Africentric High School. The pickup truck’s driver died shortly after being rushed to the hospital, while all passengers on the COTA bus escaped unharmed. Police shut down southbound Stelzer Road during their investigation, and the deceased’s identity remains pending notification of family. This tragic event serves as a sobering reminder of road safety’s fragility. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
