The Couchfire Collective, a group of Grandview-based artists, is looking for donations after two of its members, Julie Liu and Rachel Widomski, were critically injured by a hit-and-run driver in the parking lot of a Short North restaurant.
The driver, northwest Columbus resident Michael A. Rose, 43, had refused to pay his tab and reportedly struck Liu and Widomski while attempting to leave the restaurant's parking lot Thursday, May 15. Rose turned himself in Sunday, May 17...
...Widomski is an artist and a volunteer with the Couchfire Collective. Liu and her husband, Paul, have provided food in the past for Couchfire events.
The Couchfire Collective is accepting donations to help both women with their hospital expenses at 889 Williams Ave. in Grandview.
