Two-vehicle accident at intersection of Washington/Indianapolis Rd and Wood Street

One driver was taken for further medial treatment from a two-car accident in Greencastle Tuesday.

About 12:00 p.m., a two-vehicle accident occurred at the intersection of Washington/Indianapolis Rd and Wood Street. The Greencastle Police Department swiftly responded to the scene to assess the situation and provide necessary assistance.

Upon arrival, officers discovered two vehicles involved in the collision, with one of them pushed into a nearby utility pole. Officer Jared McDaniel and Sgt. Nick Eastham conducted a thorough investigation to determine the sequence of events leading up to the incident.

Based on their findings, a Buick Lacerne, driven by Johnathan Benton of Greencastle, was traveling eastbound on Washington, approaching Wood Street. Simultaneously, a Chevy Cruze, driven by Preston Caccamise of Terre Haute, was heading west on Indianapolis Road and attempting to make a left turn onto Wood Street, intersecting the path of the Buick Lacerne. As a result, the Buick Lacerne collided with the Chevy Cruze, and pushed it into the utility pole.

Both drivers sustained minor injuries in the accident, and medical assistance was provided at the scene. Only one driver required further treatment and was transported to Putnam County Hospital for observation and care. The Greencastle Fire Department was called to the scene to provide additional support and assist with the cleanup process.

To ensure the safe removal of the vehicles involved, Jerry's Wrecker was dispatched to the location.
