Five people were injured Sunday night in a crash on US 35 at Cass County Road 500 South.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Department says around 6:30 Sunday night, a 1999 Plymouth mini-van driven by 29 year old Cory Reed of Bunker Hill, was traveling west on CR 500 S at US 35. According to a news release, Reed failed to stop for the intersection and struck a northbound 2010 Honda driven by 46 year old Rose Herrera, of Kokomo. Herrera’s vehicle spun into the southbound lane of traffic and was struck a southbound 2008 Impala driven by 44 year old Michelle Stovall of Logansport.
Sgt. Gary Armstrong said Reed suffered a minor cut to his arm and complained of head pain. Herrera was flown to South Bend Memorial Hospital and was listed in critical condition as of Sunday. Stovall complained of chest, back and hand injuries. Two juvenile passengers, age 12 and 17, in Stovall’s vehicle also sustained minor injuries.
Armstrong was assisted by Deputies David Wells, Brad Craven and Indiana Conservation Officer Logan Hodges. Walton Fire, New Waverly Fire and Prompt Ambulance were also at the scene.
Armstrong said investigation is continuing at this time and suspects that alcohol is a factor in the crash, according to a news release from the Cass County Sheriff’s Department. Test results are pending.
