3-Vehicle Crash Closes Road
Two people were hurt in a three-vehicle crash that closed down Route 255 in Jay Township for several hours this afternoon.
Police say a car driven by 78-year-old Mary Youngmark of Byrnedale was coming out of a driveway when it pulled into the path of an S-U-V driven by 74-year-old Chauncey Logue of Emporium.
When Logue tried to avoid that collision, he hit a tractor-trailer head-on. The tractor-trailer traveled off the road, where it hit a utility pole and mailboxes before coming to rest in a yard.
Logue and his passenger, 66-year-old Dorothy Logue suffered unspecified injuries.
Youngmark and the driver of the tractor-trailer, 32-year-old Anthony Miller of Middle Berry, Indiana, weren't hurt.
The tractor-trailer and SUV had to be towed from the scene. Police say charges will be filed against Youngmark.
