A tragic event occurred this past Saturday afternoon in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A father and his 12-year-old son were riding a snowmobile in their backyard when the boy lost control and hit a tree head-on. The boy later died from severe head trauma.

According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the boy was driving with the father’s assistance when something went wrong. The father was thrown from the snowmobile and the boy continued driving toward a wooded area where he hit a tree.

The injured boy was transported to Parkview Main Hospital and died several hours later. The DNR stated that neither the boy nor the father was wearing safety equipment or helmets at the time of the accident. Currently Indiana state law does not require snowmobile riders to wear helmets.

Two Indianapolis Pedestrians Accidents

Posted on January 25, 2012

This past Wednesday night, two Indianapolis residents were hit by cars in separate pedestrian accidents. One lost their life at the scene and the other is in critical condition.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, a woman was struck and killed by a car near Madison Avenue and East County Line Road at the Marion/Johnson County line around 7 p.m. The woman suffered massive trauma and rescue crews were unable to save her. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver that hit the woman is cooperating with police investigators.

The second pedestrian accident occurred less than one hour after the fatal accident. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports of an accident at Lynhurst Drive and Seerley Creek Road, on the southwest side of the city.

Police said they found a semi-conscious teen with severe trauma and breathing trouble. The teen, 15-year-old Darius Queen, was riding his bicycle in the southbound lane of Lynhurst, in the Decatur Township, when he was struck by a southbound SUV. The impact threw Queen into the northbound lanes where a second vehicle struck him. The driver of the second vehicle fled the scene.

Queen was taken to the Wishard Memorial Hospital and is in critical condition.

Police are asking for anyone with information about the accident or the hit-and-run driver to come forward. They describe the second vehicle as a white Dodge Neon with a spoiler on the back and say it should show signs of damage to the front.

If you have any information about the pedestrian accident or Dodge Neon, please contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Hit-and-Run Office at 317-327-6549 or Crime Stoppers at 317-262-8477 (TIPPS).

Large Railroad Accident Involving Hazardous Materials in Indiana

Posted on January 21, 2012

This past Friday, three CSX freight trains derailed in Indiana, causing officials to evacuate residents from their homes in fear of hazardous materials and dangerous smoke.

A representative for the Porter County Sheriff’s Office said that the railroad accident occurred 11 miles northeast of Valparaiso, IN, around 1:15 p.m. A train that was stopped on the westbound tracks was rear-ended by a second train, derailing many cars from both. A third train, travelling eastbound on a parallel track, then struck the derailed cars. Many of the cars were empty but a number of them carried hazardous materials.

Of the six crew members, only two were taken to the hospital with injuries.

Indiana residents returned to their homes early Friday night, according to Porter County Emergency Management Director Phil Griffith.

Indianapolis Area Hospitals Treat Severe Injuries After Multiple Accidents

Posted on January 20, 2012

Last Friday, three people were injured in a crash in Miami County. According to the Indiana State Police, a roadblock had been set up, shutting down U.S. 31 to investigate a prior wreck, when a vehicle drove past the orange traffic cones and flashing emergency vehicles and smashed into an 18-wheeler. The accident occurred near the intersection of U.S. 31 and Miami County Road 1050 South, around 10:30 p.m.

Investigators are unsure why Troy Chamberlain, 33, of Peru, IN, disregarded the warning signs and drove his Pontiac through the road block. Chamberlain and another passenger, 28-year-old Frederick McCool, 28, of Louisville, were trapped in the front seat of his car and had to be removed. A third passenger, Kelly Mercado, 32, of Peru, IN, was in the backseat.

Chamberlain was initially taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital but was later airlifted to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. McCool was airlifted to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne after suffering a severe head injury. Mercado was treated for a back injury at St. Joseph’s Hospital and was later released.

Chamberlain is listed as being in critical condition but stable. No word yet on the condition of McCool.

Indiana State Police are still investigating in incident.

Another Indianapolis hospital cared for a separate severe injury in a single-vehicle crash that occurred early last Saturday morning.

According to a report by Greene County Sheriff’s Department, Beverly Cooper, 45, of Bloomfield, IN, suffered severe leg injuries and facial lacerations when her Nissan struck a utility pole off of State Road 157 north of County Road 325 north. The wreck occurred around 4:55 a.m.

Cooper had to be extricated from the vehicle by fire and EMS after being trapped inside. The Greene County Ambulance transported Cooper to Greene County Hospital; she was then airlifted to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.

The accident is still under investigation.

Indianapolis Weather Leads to Slick Roads and Multiple Semi Truck Accidents

Posted on January 13, 2012

This morning Indianapolis commuters on I-65 faced snowfall and wind gusts of up to 30 mph. While most made it to their destinations without incident, many minor accidents and slide-offs were reported. The road conditions were also a contributing factor in three separate commercial truck accidents.

Indiana State Police Lt. Jay Janke described the conditions as “horrible”.

Indianapolis State Police from the Lowell Post reported responding to more than 35 calls from Thursday night through this morning. The accidents occurred in Indiana towns from Benton, Boone, Carroll, Clinton, Jasper, Lafayette, Marion, Tippecanoe, and White. Three of those accidents involved personal injuries.

Two jackknifed semi trucks in two separate accidents caused I-65 lane closures in Boone County near the I-865 interchange and near 71st Street.

A third commercial vehicle crash involved a tractor trailer and a state highway truck on U.S. 52, south of Lafayette.

A spokesman for the Indiana Department of Transportation said that there were close to 100 INDOT plow trucks out on Marion County highways and across the broader metro area.

According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, the conditions are expected to improve tonight.

Indianapolis winter interstate I-65 semi truck accidents

The Indiana State Police offer the following safety tips:

• Make sure your travel is necessary, then check the forecast

• Assure your vehicle has a full tank of fuel

• Carry a winter driving kit that should include blankets, flashlight, extra batteries, a brightly colored cloth, sand (or cat litter), shovel, candle, matches, non-perishable high-calorie food, first aid kit, and jumper cables.

• Have a cell phone and charger cord available.

• Slow down on snow/ice covered roads.

• Allow extra time to arrive at your destination.

• Clear all vehicle windows of ice and snow.

• Use extra caution when driving across bridges, underpasses, shaded areas and intersections where ice is slow to melt.

• Avoid abrupt stops and starts. Slow down gradually.

If you become stranded:

• Don’t leave your car. It’s the best protection you have.

• Tie a brightly colored cloth to your antenna.

• Roll down your window a small amount to allow fresh air in your vehicle.

• Keep the exhaust pipe free of blockage to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Don’t panic. An idling car uses approximately one gallon of gas per hour.

Hit and Run Accident Claims Indianapolis Woman’s Life

Posted on January 13, 2012

Indianapolis women jogging through an Indiana park A pedestrian was struck and killed in Indianapolis last month.

After slamming into the 46-year-old woman who was walking near I-65, the driver of the vehicle left her to die

When Indianapolis police officers arrived on the scene, the woman woman was lying in the street.

Although she was rushed to the hospital immediately, her injuries were too severe. She died in the hospital soon after her arrival.

Police detectives are still looking for the vehicle, described as a dark-colored Chevrolet Cavalier by the victim’s friend, who was walking with her on Raymond Street when the accident happened.

Walking and jogging is being promoted across the country to improve the health of our country’s citizens. But with an increase of people on the streets, automobile drivers need to be aware of their presence.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one pedestrian is injured every nine minutes and one pedestrian is killed every two hours due to traffic crashes.

Over 90 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur in single vehicle crashes.

In the State of Indiana, failure to stop and remain at the scene of an accident that results in injury or death is a felony.

When individuals who cause a hit and run accident flee and are caught, justice should be served; both in criminal and civil courts.

Snow Fall Leads to More Than 80 Indianapolis Wrecks

Posted on January 3, 2012

Indiana State Police responded to over 80 accident reports early Monday afternoon. Half an inch of snow fell by 1:00 p.m. and caused a lot of trouble for Indianapolis motorists.

Multiple vehicles were involved in crashes near the southeast side of I-465 at the I-65 interchange. Accidents also occurred near the northwest side’s Michigan Road exit and at I-70 and Harding Street.

I-65 was closed between Greenwood and Whiteland due to the crashes.

Many of the accidents took place on the southern half of the I-465 loop near Mann Road and Pendleton Pike. More than 12 semi-trucks and other vehicles were in the pileup at I-465. The eastbound lanes were closed for over an hour.

Even though several people in the crashes were injured, none were life-threatening.

Getting Your Vehicle Ready for Winter Travel

• Check to make sure that your defroster and heater work properly.

• Check all lights.

• Check Anti-Freeze levels.

• Check Wipers and windshield fluid.

• Check tires – condition and pressure.

• Keep an auto-safety kit in your vehicle.

• Keep a full tank of gas, or no less than half of a tank.

Also make sure to stock your vehicle with a flashlight, cell phone and charger, food and water, flares, blanket and extra clothing, matches or a lighter, jumper cables, ice scraper, and a small shovel.

Always tell someone where you are going.

Indiana winters can be harsh. Road conditions after a snow or ice storm become dangerous and sometimes deadly. Before you get on the road this winter give yourself enough time to get to your destination safely and if you can, stay at home.

Indianapolis Police Officer Faces Charges After Deadly Motorcycle Accident

Posted on December 20, 2011

What happens when a police officer breaks the law?

That’s what an Indianapolis police officer is waiting to find out.

Indianapolis police officer involved in deadly motorcycle accident

The officer is facing a lawsuit from a couple who suffered injuries when his police car struck them as they rode their motorcycles in August 2010. The couple’s friend was killed in the crash, while they have both undergone several surgeries and rehab sessions.

Prosecutors said the police officer had a blood alcohol level of 0.19, more than twice the legal limit, at the time of the crash. This blood draw was thrown out as evidence on a technicality for the charge of drunk driving.

However, Judge Grant Hawkins ruled on Oct. 27 that the blood test could be used as evidence for the officer’s other charges – reckless homicide and criminal recklessness.

The officer’s defense attorney argued that if the blood draw couldn’t be used as evidence in a DUI charge, it shouldn’t be allowed for any criminal charges against his client.

“If it was garbage in, it was garbage out. You can’t pick your poison,” said defense attorney John Kautzman, according to Eyewitness News. “If the collection process is flawed, then the testing could be based on a flawed sample.”

The defense team will likely continue to work toward getting the test results thrown out by investigating the chain of command and how it was tested. The couple in the accident told Eyewitness News that they believe defendant’s position as a police officer is slowing down the court proceedings.

“If this had been one of us that had done this, an average, every day Joe Citizen, then it already would have been put behind them. We could have gone on with our lives. I feel with him being a police officer, too many things are being drug out,” they said.

The couple married in September. They are trying to enjoy their life as newlyweds as much as possible.

Don’t let the status of the person responsible intimidate you if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident in the Evansville, South Bend, Fort Wayne, or Indianapolis area.
