Good morning, Dublin. Interstate travel turned treacherous in Columbus yesterday as not one but two dramatic truck accidents snarled traffic and sent motorists scrambling for alternate routes. A flipped semitruck on I-70 East created a fuel spill near South James Road, while in a separate incident, a dump truck veered off I-270 and literally plunged down an embankment onto Refugee Road below. Both accidents resulted in injuries and hours-long closures as emergency crews worked to clear the scenes.
Amid the transportation chaos, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra is offering a melodic respite as they swing into their 52nd season. Led by Byron Stripling, the ensemble is currently celebrating jazz legends with their "Ellington, Basie and Miles" performances at the Southern Theatre. After weathering the pandemic pause, these talented musicians—including Grammy nominee Bobby Floyd—are once again filling Columbus with the timeless sounds that remind us there's more to life than traffic reports.
