Posted

Jeffery L. Mettler, 20, of West CR 700S, Claypool, suffered abrasions and bruises to his entire body after a 10:50 a.m. Thursday accident involving the motorcycle he was riding and a car driven by Linda K. Riggle, 42, West Section Street, Claypool. Riggle, pictured at right, apparently did not see the motorcycle and turned left in front of it on CR 450W, one-half mile south of Ind. 25, near Mentone. Mettler was treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital and released. He was cited for having no registration plate and for operating a motorcycle without endorsement. The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department investigated. Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union
