PIERCETON - Seven people were injured Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle accident, during which one person was ejected.
As a result of the 12:40 p.m. accident at the intersection of Ind. 13 and CR 350S, April Patton, 14, of North Street, Larwill, was thrown from a van driven by Shelly Clark, 20, of Center Street, Larwill. Patton suffered bleeding to her head and leg and was treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital and released.
According to Pierceton Police Department Deputy Marshal Trevor Griffith, Clark was westbound on CR 350S and stopped at the stop sign before proceeding into the intersection. Clark apparently failed to see a van driven by Penny Angiano, 32, of South East Channel Road, Warsaw. Angiano was southbound on Ind. 13 and could not avoid a collision with Clark's van.
Clark was not injured, but three other passengers in her van were. Lucas Clark, 4, of Center Street, Larwill, suffered a bruise to his head and was admitted to KCH for observation. Information regarding his condition was not available at press time. Also, Shirley A. Clark, 51, of Center Street, Larwill, complained of pain to her side, and Brandy Clark, 14, of the same address, complained of neck pain. Both were treated at KCH and released.
Angiano complained of knee and head pain and a passenger in her van, Nancy Schultz, 58, Woodland Lane, Warsaw, complained of head and neck pain. Both were treated at KCH and released.
Damage is estimated at $2,500 to $5,000 to each van.
