COLUMBUS – On March 11, troopers from the Delaware Post responded to a call of a vehicle that had crashed on Interstate 71 northbound at mile post 122, near Gemini Parkway. Troopers say that at 9:56 a.m. a 2014 Gray Ford Fusion went off the left side of the roadway and struck a cable barrier. Initial reports indicated that an occupant from the vehicle was discharging a firearm at the scene.
