Columbus Fire: 2 children ejected from vehicle in crash on I-670 near Downtown

Two children were taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital with serious injuries.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Four people — two teens, a child and an adult — were rushed to the hospital Monday evening after a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 670 near downtown Columbus.

The crash occurred at approximately 8:50 p.m. in the westbound lanes of I-670 near the ramps to state Route 315.

The Columbus Division of Police says a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling west on the interstate when it lost control and crashed into the guardrail. 

At some point, the truck flipped and an 8-year-old child and a 13-year-old were ejected from the vehicle and landed below on Route 315. 

The children were both taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital in critical condition. One remains critical and the other has since been upgraded to "serious but stable," according to Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Jeffrey Geitter.

On Tuesday, police said their injuries are not life-threatening. 

An adult and a 15-year-old, who were both passengers inside the truck, were taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital with minor injuries. Both of their conditions are described as "stable."

The driver of the vehicle was treated at the scene. 

The two adults injured in the crash were taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital. Both of their conditions are described as "stable."

The westbound lanes of I-670 have reopened after being closed during the investigation.
