PIERCETON - Two people were treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital, Warsaw, and released after a three-vehicle accident at 5 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of U.S. 30 and CR 450E, near Pierceton.
According to an Indiana State Police crash report, a semi tractor/trailer driven by Michael J. Settles, 42, Griffith, sideswiped a car driven by Shirley M. Sprong, 67, Old Road 30W, Warsaw. Sprong's car then struck a car driven by Julie L. Reed, 24, Ind. 13, Claypool.
Sprong suffered bruises and a passenger in her vehicle, Willodena Holderman, 72, North Walnut Street, Etna Green, suffered a cut to her head.
Damage to Settles' and Reed's vehicles is estimated at $500 each. Damage to Sprong's car is estimated at $10,000.
All of the people involved were wearing seat belts, which police said reduced the severity of their injuries.
