Not a minute later the officer comes upon a downed light pole and the SUV can be seen further up the road, its emergency lights flashing. The officer quickly exited his cruiser and went over to an occupant of the crashed SUV lying in the grass median.Albert said in his statement that a woman was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash at 3:23 a.m., while a man was pronounced deceased at 4:21 a.m. after being transported to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

At 2:56 a.m., a different Hilliard police officer responded to Certified Gas Station, 4656 Cemetery Road, for a report that the station's burglary alarm had been activated. The officer found the glass door of the station's convenience store had been shattered and several cartons of cigarettes were missing.
