BREAKING NEWS: Tragedy Strikes as Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day Involved in Late-Night Accident
Columbus, OH — Tragedy has struck the Ohio State football program late Thursday night as head coach Ryan Day was involved in a serious car accident just outside of downtown Columbus. Emergency services responded to the scene shortly after 11:30 p.m. Authorities have confirmed that Coach Day was transported to Wexner Medical Center in critical condition.
Details surrounding the accident remain limited, but early reports indicate a two-vehicle collision at an intersection known for low visibility. Witnesses described a chaotic scene, with one vehicle rolled onto its side and emergency personnel working for nearly an hour to extract one of the occupants.
University officials released a brief statement early Friday morning:
> “We are aware of the incident involving Coach Ryan Day and are closely monitoring the situation. Our thoughts are with Coach Day, his family, and all those impacted. We ask for privacy and prayers at this time.”
The Ohio State football community is in shock, as Coach Day is not only the program’s leader but a deeply respected figure across the NCAA. Under his leadership, the Buckeyes have remained a perennial powerhouse, and he is beloved by players and fans alike for his mentorship, passion, and integrity.
Players, alumni, and rival coaches have already taken to social media to express their concern and support. Heisman candidate quarterback Jalen Rivers, in a now-deleted tweet, wrote: “Coach Day is more than a coach—he’s family. We need him to pull through. Please keep him in your prayers.”
More updates will follow as the situation develops.
