OSHP is looking to talk to witnesses of the crash.

MADISON COUNTY, Ohio -- The Ohio State Highway Patrol says a vehicle involved in a hit-skip crash in Madison County last Thursday morning that left a man severely injured has been found.



OSHP says the vehicle, a 2019-2020 maroon Toyota RAV4, Adventure package, was found Tuesday afternoon at a home in Columbus, though officials did not say what part of the city.

Officials say they know the identity of the person was driving the vehicle, and are currently looking for that person.



The person who was driving the car at the time of the crash is not the vehicle's owner. Police say the owner of the vehicle is cooperating with investigators. According to OSHP, the vehicle was not stolen.

OSHP says the vehicle by working with an investigator from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Police obtained records that matched the vehicle description and were able to locate the RAV4 after checking several homes. The vehicle has been processed for evidence.

The highway patrol says the person was driving the vehicle in the westbound lanes of I-70, when the driver forced Peter Baumann’s car into the path of a commercial truck.



The truck driver drove off the right side of the road to avoid hitting the car.

Investigators say Baumann then passed the RAV4, pulled off the road and got out of his car. That’s when the driver of the RAV4 struck him and drove away, according to OHSP.
