Troopers from the Marysville post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigation a fatal two-vehicle crash that occurred on U.S. Route 33 in Paris Township Thursday afternoon. Troopers responded to the U.S. 33, near the entrance ramp from U.S. Route 36/state Route 4 south, at about 4:05 p.m. on a report of a crash involving a commercial vehicle and a passenger vehicle. According to the report, Xingyu You, 24, of Columbus, was driving a 2008 Honda Accord east on U.S. 33 when You lost control of his vehicle, drove through the grass median, and into the westbound lanes of U.S. 33. You's vehicle was struck by a westbound semi, driven by Justin L. Webb, 27, of Urbana. Following the crash, the semi traveled off the right side of the roadway and came to rest in a ditch. The Honda came to rest in the roadway, blocking all westbound lanes of U.S. 33. You sustained incapacitating injuries and was transported to the Union County Memorial Hospital. He was later transferred to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. There were two passengers in You's vehicle at the time of the crash. Abhishek Mamgain, 27, of Columbus, was in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash. He was transported to the Union County Memorial Hospital and was later transferred to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Kyle Bruggemeyer, 22, of Columbus, was seated in the rear of the Honda at the time of the crash. He was transported to the Union County Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Webb sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Troopers believe weather played a factor in the crash. The westbound lanes of U.S. 33 were closed for approximately one hour while crews cleared the roadway. The crash remains under investigation.
