An Indian-Origin man tragically lost his life after being struck by a car in the US state of Ohio. According to the highway patrol police, Piyush Patel was walking along the substation road near Autumnwood Lane in Brunswick Hills when a southbound 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI hit him. The incident occurred on the evening of November 18.

Upon receiving the report, Ohio Highway Patrol officers swiftly arrived at the scene, where they unfortunately had to declare the 52-year-old deceased. Currently, the police are conducting an investigation into the matter, and no arrests have been made thus far.

The driver involved in the accident has been identified as 25-year-old Cameron Luiza from Brunswick. Thankfully, he was wearing safety restraints during the incident, which prevented him from sustaining any injuries.

Ohio has unfortunately witnessed similar incidents in the past. On November 14, another tragic crash occurred, resulting in the deaths of six people and leaving 18 others injured. The accident involved multiple vehicles on an Ohio interstate, including a charter bus carrying students.

In a separate incident earlier this year in June, a 30-year-old Indian-Origin man named Hiteshbhai Patel also lost his life in a car crash in Ohio.

Providing a broader perspective, statistics from the Ohio Department of Public Safety reveal that in 2022, Montgomery and its neighboring counties experienced a staggering 32,752 traffic crashes. These crashes tragically resulted in 172 deaths, with distracted driving being attributed to 1,541 of the accidents and eight of the fatalities.

Addressing the concerning issue of traffic safety, Acting Administrator Ann Carlson expressed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s commitment to reducing fatalities. She emphasized their efforts in implementing new regulations for vehicle technologies aimed at saving lives and the increased funding provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for state highway safety offices. Carlson also stated that they will continue to collaborate with safety partners to achieve the shared goal of zero fatalities.

This latest incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for continued efforts to prevent such tragic accidents from occurring. Our thoughts go out to Piyush Patel’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
