) – A Columbus City School teacher lost his life after a two-vehicle ****** in Hilliard early Friday morning.

Officers from the Hilliard Division of Police responded to a car ****** at around 1:47 a.m. on Interstate 270 South, between the Hayden Run Road and Davidson Road overpasses. Police said that’s where a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze struck a 2015 Honda CRV, causing the SUV to strike a wall and flip over.

The sedan reportedly veered off the road, struck a tree and came to a rest. The driver of the SUV was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the sedan, identified by Columbus City Schools and confirmed by Hilliard police, was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a spokesperson for Columbus City Schools, 32-year-old Jared Jackson was a physical education teacher at Winterset and Lincoln Park Elementary schools.

“This is a tragic loss felt across the district,” CCS Communication Director Tyler Carter said in a statement. “Jackson was a dedicated champion for youth, and his life was a testament to the power of service and leadership. His passing leaves a void in the CCS community and beyond, but his legacy of shaping young lives will continue to inspire us, reminding us of the positive impact one person can have.”

I-270 South was closed for nearly six hours between State Route 33 and the Cemetery Road exit, before reopening at around 7:25 a.m. Friday.
