Woman shot inside car on SR-315 in Worthington
WORTHINGTON, Ohio (WCMH) -- A woman has been hospitalized after a Friday night shooting inside a car on a highway in Worthington.
Around 8:45 p.m., Ohio Department of Transportation highway cameras captured police blocking off the southbound lanes of SR-315 through Worthington. Officers temporarily diverted traffic onto an exit ramp to SR-161, but the road was back open as of Saturday.
Worthington Assistant City Manager David McCorkle confirmed that the shutdown stemmed from a "domestic dispute" inside a car on the state highway. The vehicle was heading south when someone fired at least one shot, striking a passenger.
Emergency crews took the passenger, a woman, to an area hospital. As of Saturday morning, McCorkle did not have information on her condition. While he did not name a suspect, the assistant city manager noted Worthington police took one into custody, and there was no additional threat to the public.
