Six people were injured Saturday evening in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Ind. 13 and CR 1000N, three miles south of Syracuse. The car involved caught fire after the accident and at least one person was trapped in the wreckage for a short time. According to an Indiana State Police report, a car driven by William L. Glaser, 16, of Syracuse, was eastbound on CR 1000N and was struck by a northbound pickup driven by Joseph A. Morehead III, 26, of Pierceton. Police said Glaser had stopped at the stop sign before proceeding through the intersection and into the path of Morehead. Glaser complained of head pain, and three passengers in his car, Tomir Denton, 15, Syracuse; Katie Kubachi, 16, no address available; and Alex Heckaman, 15, Syracuse, also were injured. Morehead complained of pain to his hand, and a passenger in his pickup, Jenny Burket, 20, of Warsaw, complained of head and knee pain. All six were treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital. Assisting at the scene were officers from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, North Webster Police Department and Syracuse police, fire and EMS. Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union
