Franklin County, OH (October 14, 2024) – A serious two-vehicle accident occurred in Madison Township on October 12, resulting in injuries to two individuals. Emergency responders were called to the scene at U.S. Route 33 and Bixby Road around 10:35 p.m. following reports of a fiery crash.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, a 2023 Ford van was traveling westbound on U.S. Route 33 when a gray 2003 Toyota 4-Runner, which was traveling eastbound, attempted to turn north onto Bixby Road. The Toyota turned left directly in front of the oncoming van, leading to a collision between the two vehicles. The impact caused the Toyota to come to a stop facing south across both lanes of the highway, while the Ford van veered off the road and ended up in a ditch.
Following the crash, both vehicles caught fire. Fortunately, the driver of the Toyota was pulled from the vehicle before the flames could reach the passenger compartment, and the driver of the van managed to exit the vehicle before the fire engulfed it.
The driver of the Toyota was transported to Mount Carmel East in critical condition, while the driver of the Ford was also taken to Mount Carmel East, where their condition was described as stable. The incident remains under investigation by local authorities.
