3-injured-in-cass-county-crash
Three people were injured in a two-vehicle Cass County crash Monday.
Just after 12:30 p.m., Cass County deputies and medical personnel were called to a crash at the Burlington Exchange of the Hoosier Heartland Highway, US 24 and SR 329. A semi tractor-trailer and passenger car were involved in the incident.
Emilee Scott, 231, of Monticello, was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze eastbound on the distributor ramp of US 24. The sheriff's department says the investigation indicates Scott failed to yield to a northbound 2007 Kenworth semi-tractor with an empty grain trailer driven by David Chaney, 33, of Camden.
Scott and an 11-month old passenger sustained minor injuries and were transported to Logansport Memorial Hospital. The sheriff's department noted that proper use of passenger and child restraint systems definitely reduced the injuries.
The tractor-trailer crossed the southbound lanes and came to rest in the ditch. Chaney sustained serious injuries and was transported to IU Arnett Hospital in Lafayette.
The sheriff's department investigation further states that alcohol is not considered to be a factor in this crash.
