The victim, identified as 21-year-old Sarosh Sheth, a neuroscience major from Warren, Ohio, died following the collision Wednesday afternoon. The crash occurred around 2:40 p.m. in the 1300 block of North High Street. A Columbus spokesperson, Sgt.

The Mustang hit a parked car in the Kroger parking lot and stopped. Sheth was taken to Wexner Medical Center in critical condition and pronounced dead; both other pedestrians were also transported in critical condition, while the driver of the parked car was stable. The driver remained at the scene, was taken into custody, and has been charged with driving under the influence, with Albert citing possible alcohol and narcotics involvement.
