DEKALB CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office says that one person was taken to the hospital Monday after hitting a box truck.
Around 10:15 a.m., police say a Ford Fusion was driving on the 4700 block of US 6 when it crossed over the center line and side-swiped a box truck coming from the opposite direction.
The box truck, driven by a 75-year-old, began to swerve as a result. Police said the truck eventually skidded off the road into a ditch before crashing into a fence. The car also ended up in a ditch, police said.
The 59-year-old driver of the Fusion was taken to a hospital for injuries that included a forehead laceration, according to the release. The car was totaled.
The box truck had about $20,000 in damage, police determined. The driver wasn’t hurt.
