Felix Farinola, 49, of Harrisburg, Pa., was flown from the crash scene to a hospital in Fort Wayne due to injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the semi-truck, Michael Worsham, 74, of Bourbon, was not injured in the crash.
An afternoon crash on U.S. 30 between a semi-truck and a van resulted in a man being flown from the scene due to his injuries.
On Thursday, at approximately 2:41 p.m., Master Trooper Alan Lehman responded to a crash in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 30 between a semi and a cargo van. Preliminary investigation by Lehman indicates that a 2014 Mercedes van, driven by Felix Farinola, 49, of Harrisburg, Pa., was traveling eastbound on U.S. 30 in the right lane behind a 2006 Peterbilt towing a covered trailer. The Peterbilt came to a stop for the red light at the intersection with State Road 19 when the Mercedes failed to stop in time and collided with the rear of the trailer. Farinola was flown from the crash scene to a hospital in Fort Wayne due to injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the Peterbilt, Michael Worsham, 74, of Bourbon, was not injured in the crash.
While neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected to factors in this crash, it is suspected that Farinola was following too closely.
