Car split in two, two injured in Kosciusko County crash

Two people were injured in a Kosciusko County crash Wednesday morning in Van Buren Township.

 

Just after 5:00 am, emergency crews were called to the intersection of S.R. 15 and C.R. 900 N.

A preliminary investigation found that the driver of a 2004 Honda Accord, Spencer Stapleton, 23, of Warsaw, was westbound on C.R. 900 N. and failed to stop at S.R. 15.

 

Stapleton’s vehicle pulled into the path of a 2016 Chrysler Town and County traveling northbound on S.R. 15.  Nicole Jeffries, 29, also of Warsaw was the driver of the Town and Country.  The front of the van hit the driver’s side of the Honda and split the Honda in half.

 

Stapleton was ejected from the vehicle and landed about 50 feet from the vehicle.

 

Stapleton and a front seat passenger, Dusty Deshane, 27, of Warsaw, were transported from the scene by air ambulance. The driver sustained critical injuries and the passenger sustained non-critical injures.

 

 

The driver and two minor passengers of the Chrysler refused treatment at the scene.

 

Two parked vehicles were also damaged at a residence on the northwest corner of the intersection.

 

The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office, Milford Police Department, Milford Fire Department, Lutheran EMS, Turkey Creek Fire Territory, Lutheran Air Ambulance and North Webster Fire Department responded to the accident.
