Two Injured in Starke County Accident

Two people were injured in a two-vehicle accident Thursday evening in Starke County.

Police say an investigation found that a GMC truck driven by 28-year-old Cody Kozubik, of Knox, was hauling a trailer westbound on State Road 10 near 700 E. when the truck hit a small bump in the road which caused the trailer to detach from the vehicle.  The trailer then went into the eastbound lane which reportedly struck a Chrysler van driven by 54-year-old Krista Greer of Plymouth. 

When police arrived at the scene, deputies confirmed there was entrapment.  Greer and a juvenile were airlifted for further medical assistance by Lutheran Air 2 and Samaritan, according to police.                 

The Starke County Sheriff’s Department was assisted at the scene by Starke County EMS, Bass Lake-California Township Fire Department, and Knox-Center Township Fire Department.
