Blood tests showed that Smith was under the legal limit for alcohol.

An Ohio State University football player lost control behind the wheel Sunday morning, flipping his vehicle and striking a utility pole.

Devin M. Smith, 22, was driving southbound on Wales Avenue NW around 8:30 a.m. when he left the road and rolled his vehicle near the 7500 block, according to the traffic accident report from the police department.

He will be cited in the accident for failure to control.

The traffic report indicates alcohol was suspected in the crash and that Smith’s blood was tested. The results of the test showed he was under the legal limit, Police Chief Mark Brink said Thursday.

The accident remained under investigation.

Smith’s vehicle was transported by the Jackson Township Police Department.

Jerry Emig, an associate director of communications for the athletics department at the university, said staff members knew about the accident and that Smith had been on campus this week.

Smith, a receiver for the Buckeyes, played football at Washington High School.
