COLUMBUS (AP) — Authorities say a man involved in a non-injury, hit-skip crash and who apparently died in a nearby wooded area after leaving the crash scene has been identified.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that the man’s body was found Monday by a sheriff’s deputy trying to retrace the path of the driver who left the scene of the Jan. 22 crash near I-270 in southern Franklin County.
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office on Tuesday identified the body as that of 41-year-old Jeremy Wayne Boggs, of Delaware, Ohio.
Sheriff’s officials confirmed Boggs was the driver in the crash.
The Columbus Dispatch reports a sheriff’s spokesman says the coroner’s office hasn’t determined a cause of death, but no foul play is suspected.
Authorities say they continue to investigate.
