WABASH COUNTY - A North Manchester woman was killed Friday in a multiple-vehicle crash in Wabash County.

The preliminary investigation established that a full-sized pickup, traveling south on Ind. 13, was stopped at the intersection of CR 1100N, waiting for northbound traffic to clear the intersection, so that it could make a left (eastbound) turn onto CR 1100N. The pickup successfully turned east and was not involved in the collision.
