Newton County, IN – A three-vehicle crash Friday at the intersection of US-41 and SR-14 led to multiple injuries and airlifts.
According to the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, the accident occurred on Thursday. Preliminary investigation indicates a white passenger vehicle, driven by a 21-year-old Indiana male with a 20-year-old female passenger, was turning north onto US-41 from west SR-14.
The vehicle failed to yield to oncoming traffic and was struck on the driver’s side by a red Dodge Ram driven by a 26-year-old New Jersey male. The collision caused both vehicles to cross the median into the southbound lanes of US-41, where the white passenger vehicle then struck a white SUV driven by a 45-year-old Wisconsin female.
Two individuals, from Indiana and Wisconsin, were airlifted from the scene, while the other two were transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment.
