During the crash investigation, Miley says they learned there was a domestic assault at the Green Tree Apartments in East Columbus.
They went to the building and found a woman in need of medical attention. She told them her ex-boyfriend also needed medical attention.

The woman was treated at the scene.
The case remains under investigation.
