Truck Driver Released After Fatal Crash | Columbus News

A deadly crash on I-71 in Madison County has thrust a 42-year-old semi-truck driver, Bekhzod Asrarov, into the spotlight—released without bond despite allegations he struck and killed 21-year-old college soccer player Tobias Forsythe, who was crossing into oncoming traffic. Asrarov, legally in the U.S. with no prior record, allegedly removed his truck’s dash cam before authorities arrived, raising red flags. Federal and state officials are sounding alarms over non-English-speaking commercial drivers on U.S. roads. Asrarov must wear an ankle monitor as prosecutors vow to pursue additional charges, with the case headed to a grand jury. Forsythe’s tragic death has ignited a national conversation about trucking safety and language barriers behind the wheel.
