fatal accident
01/03/2007
A woman was fatally injured in a crash un U.S. 33 near Blue Lake Road Thursday afternoon when her SUV was struck by a dump truck. The woman was traveling northbound on U.S. 33 waiting to turn southbound on Blue Lake Road when the dump truck swerved into the other lane to avoid other waiting motorists.
Churubusco units were strapped for manpower due to another accident they were responding on in Noble County. A small crew from that accident left in an apparatus and a command officer in his personal vehicle all responded to render aid.
Captain Wayne Krider arrived to find the dump truck loaded with gravel laying on top of an SUV and requested immediate assistance from Thorncreek Township. It was discovered that the female was heavily pinned and at least in critical condition at which time he requested the Samaritan helicopter fly. Medics arrived to assist and pronounced the female dead on arrival.
Churubusco and Thorncreek units arrived nearly simultaneously and began digging away at the gravel piled inside the SUV to ensure no other victims were buried. No one was found and units stood back to wait for police units and re constructionists.
Churubusco units cleared the scene around 6:00 P.M.
Responding units were Churubusco Fire, Thorncreek Fire, Medic 21, Medic 11, ISP, Churubusco Police & Whitley County Sheriff.
