No names of the drivers involved have been released as of this report. An adult female was the driver of a 2017 Acura that was traveling north on 600 East and had a stop sign at US 40. According to the Hancock County Sheriff’s office, the Acura was driven into the path of a 2012 Ford F-350 driven by a juvenile male.
