Two people remained hospitalized last night after they were thrown from their car in a crash Tuesday on the Northwest Side, Columbus police said.

Police initially had said that Fire Division medics declared a man dead at the scene, but corrected that information early yesterday to say he was brought to the hospital in "life-threatening condition."

Christopher Shelly, 18, was revived after being flown from the crash scene by helicopter to Grant Medical Center, detective Heather Collins said. His condition had improved to serious last night, a nursing supervisor said.

Shelly and a passenger, Kasey Burleson, 16, both of Powell, were in a car headed east on Bent Tree Boulevard from Federated Boulevard when their car crossed the center line and hit a westbound car driven by Sean Ayers, 33, also of Powell.

Shelly and Burleson were thrown from the car.

Medics took Burleson to Riverside Methodist Hospital, where she was in critical condition, a spokesman there said.

Ayers was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Detectives said they are investigating the crash and don’t know why the car Shelly was driving crossed into the other lane

A Powell teenager who was thrown from a car Tuesday during a two-vehicle crash on the Northwest Side has died of her injuries at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

Burleson was a passenger in a car driven by Christopher Shelly, 18, also of Powell. The car crossed the center line and struck an oncoming car on Bent Tree Boulevard, about a halfmile north of Don Scott Field.

Shelly, also thrown from the vehicle, was in serious condition last night at Grant Medical Center with severe head injuries.
