Bryant had stopped a vehicle due to an equipment violation on US31, near Lowell Road. The vehicle pulled over to the left side of the road.
Bryant had his emergency lights on when another vehicle hit the end of his car, causing his vehicle to hit the car he pulled over.
Bryant exited his car and made sure both drivers of the two vehicles were okay. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene.
