Two drivers were injured in an accident that involved two semi trucks in Winamac on Wednesday.
Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department officers at the scene learned that Richard Vanes of Logansport was traveling in his semi on 550 South and came upon the intersection with 300 East in the Winamac area. Vanes said he was not sure if the semi that James Kline of Rochester was driving was going to stop at the intersection. Kline did not stop at the stop sign and traveled through the intersection. Vanes attempted to move to the other side of the roadway but was not able to avoid a collision. The trailer attached to Vanes’ semi slid off the roadway and struck a utility pole. The trailer then rolled over, spilling its contents into a field.
Kline was life-lined to Fort Wayne due to his injuries. Vanes sustained chest injuries but refused medical attention. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
