Franklin County, OH – A crash has shut down Olentangy River Road in both directions south of Beech Drive Friday morning, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
In a social media alert posted around 8 a.m., deputies said the roadway is completely closed while emergency personnel respond to the scene. Drivers are urged to avoid the area and find alternate routes until further notice.
The sheriff’s office did not release details on how many vehicles were involved or whether anyone was injured. Tow crews and first responders remain on-site as traffic is being redirected away from the crash zone.
Motorists traveling through the area can expect delays, especially along connecting routes near Worthington and north Columbus. Officials recommend using High Street or State Route 315 as alternate routes until Olentangy River Road reopens.
Updates on the closure will be provided through the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office mobile app and social media channels.
