A Far West Side man died in a crash with a
tractor-trailer on I-70 near Downtown last night.
Jerry W. Cornell, 42, was changing lanes on I-70
westbound, just east of Miller Avenue, when his car struck the rear of the
tractor-trailer just after 6 p.m., according to Columbus police
accident-investigation unit detectives.
Cornell was pronounced dead at the scene. A 1-year-old
boy who was Cornell’s foster child was in the back seat of the car. The child
was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital but was not seriously hurt.

uninjured.
