Four people suffered minor injuries in a three-vehicle accident this morning at the intersection of Detroit and Main streets, Warsaw, in which one of the vehicles rolled over another.

Among the injured was Dave Curtis of Warsaw, who is the jail commander for the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department. He was en route to work at 7:27 a.m. and was westbound on Main Street when a car driven by Alicia Kelley, 17, of East CR 300N, Warsaw, attempted to make a right turn on red and struck Curtis' Blazer broadside.

Curtis suffered a cut to his head and complained of neck and back pain, and Kelley suffered a cut to her head. Both were treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital and released. A passenger in Kelley's car, Brandy Brown, 17, of EMS T32 Lane, Leesburg, complained of chest pain and was still being treated late this morning.

At the time of the accident, Curtis was driving a county-owned vehicle. Upon impact, Curtis' vehicle rolled up the hood of another car and landed upside down near the rear of the car. The driver of that car, Kevin Simone, 27, of Seventh Street, Winona Lake, was not visibly injured, but was taken to KCH as a precaution. He was checked and then released.

Simone was facing eastbound on Main Street, waiting for traffic to clear to make a left turn on Detroit Street, also known as Ind. 15.

The accident closed down Main Street, from Detroit to High streets, and halted southbound traffic on Detroit Street for about half an hour while emergency crews cleaned up the scene.

The accident was investigated by the Warsaw Police Department. Also at the scene were personnel from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, Multi-Township Emergency Medical Service and Warsaw Fire Department. [[In-content Ad]]
