Minor Injuries In 2-Vehicle Accident TuesdayIndiana State Police responded to a car-semi crash Tuesday morning at U.S. 30 and CR 800W, where one person was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

At approximately 10:14 a.m., a white Ford van driven by Parker Conley, 18, of Granger, was southbound on CR 800W, according to information from ISP. As Conley attempted to cross U.S. 30, he pulled out into the path of a 2012 freightliner that was eastbound on U.S. 30.  

The driver of the semi, Jeffery Williams, 59, of Chicago, swerved to avoid the collision, but was unable to avoid hitting the van. Both vehicles ended up in the center median with the semi on its side.

U.S. 30 was shut down to eastbound traffic for approximately 1.5 hours.

Williams was taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital with minor injuries. Conley was checked out by medics at the scene and cleared.

ISP was assisted by Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office, Lutheran EMS and Etna Green and Atwood Fire departments.

No damage estimate was provided.
