Columbus police say a South Side man died Monday afternoon after driving his pickup truck through a stop sign, getting hit by another vehicle and rolling over into a tree.

According to a crash report, 30year-old Terry Bragg was driving north on Oakwood Avenue on the South Side in a 2012 Ford F-150 pickup truck around 3:30 p.m. Monday.

Bragg's truck was estimated to be going about 70 mph in a 25 mph speed limit area, according to the crash report, and did not stop at a stop sign at the intersecti­on of Oakwood Avenue and Lawrence Drive.

The pickup truck was struck in the back driver's side by a 2011 Ford Flex that was headed east on Lawrence Drive. There is no stop sign at the intersecti­on for drivers on Lawrence Drive, according to the report.

The pickup truck went off the right side of the roadway and rolled, striking a tree. Bragg was pinned in the vehicle and was pronounced dead on the scene. The crash report said he was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

The driver of the Ford Flex, 22-yearold Jahlisa Mcintyre, also of the South Side, was taken to Ohiohealth Grant Medical Center for treatment of serious but not life-threatenin­g injuries. A 5-year-old in Mcintyre's vehicle was not injured.

The crash, which is believed to be the first fatal crash in the city in 2021, remains under investigat­ion. bbruner@dispatch.com @bethany_bruner
