COLUMBUS, Ohio — One person is dead following a crash on Interstate 70 near downtown Sunday evening, according to the Columbus Division of Police.
Officers were called on a report of a crash just before 10:20 p.m. on I-70 West near the Interstate 71 split, located by Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Police say an adult was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer on the westbound I-70 ramp to I-71 north when they lost their vehicle. The Trailblazer ran off the left side of the road into the median wall, causing the SUV to flip and land on the driver's side.
The Trailblazer slid back across the ramp to the right side of the roadway, striking the curb before stopping, according to police.
The driver was pinned under the SUV and pronounced dead at the scene around 10:35 p.m.
The I-70 West ramp to I-71 North was closed for several hours because of the investigation.
