Serious injuries and a tanker spill in a Cass County crash Thursday.
Just after 1 p.m., the single-vehicle crash occurred on US 35 south of US 24 at the Dunkirk Exchange. A semi-tractor and trailer rolled over at the ramp blocking all lanes of US 35.
Roberto Peralta, 58, of Wolcott, was the driver of the 2024 Freightliner. The semi-tractor and trailer tipped onto its side while exiting the ramp onto southbound US 35. Most of the 5,000 gallons of liquid manure leaked from the tanker and covered three of the four highway lanes. A private contractor assisted at the scene to remove the liquid.
Peralta was extricated from the cab and flown to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with serious injuries.
US 35 was closed for over eight hours.
Assisting Cass County deputies at the scene was Cass County Emergency Management, Cass County Emergency Medical Services, Indiana State Police, Royal Center Police, Logansport Police, Cass County Fire District #1, Logansport Fire, Cass County Highway Department, INDOT and Indiana EPA.
