A wreck Tuesday in the parking lot of Kmart in Columbus left a Jeep upside-down and sent at least one person to the hospital.
The wreck happened about 1:30 p.m. In surveillance footage a local business showed The Dispatch, a red Jeep Latitude is seen driving through the lot toward Highway 45 North, when a southbound silver Toyota Avalon strikes it side. The Jeep spins around and flips over, coming to rest wheels-up.
Multiple witnesses said a woman from the Jeep was taken to a local hospital after the wreck.
One witness, who saw the wreck from near the store, said the Jeep went into the air as it flipped over.
“It was like some Fast & Furious kind of stuff,” he said.
Theresa Lowe told The Dispatch her sister, Mary Shepherd, was driving the Avalon. She said her sister was shaken up, but OK, after the wreck.
“She was telling us that it happened so fast that she couldn’t tell what happened,” Lowe said.
Alex Holloway was formerly a reporter with The Dispatch.
