HAMILTON, IN — A two-car crash at the intersection of Railroad Street and Homestead Drive left a total of seven people injured Friday night, including several children.
The Steuben County Sheriff’s Department was sent to the collision scene at around 6:30 PM.
First units on the scne determined that a blue 2015 Ford F-150 pickup truck was traveling eastbound approaching the intersection. The other vehicle, a black 2017 Kia Sedona minivan, was traveling westbound.
The Ford F-150, reportedly driven by Joshua Anderson of Hamilton, was “almost completely left of the center line” at the intersection as he was trying to make a left-hand turn. This caused the pickup truck and minivan to “collide nearly head on.”
The driver of the minivan, reportedly Bianca Hales of Hamilton, had “severe injuries” to her head and back as well as leg pain. Hales was taken to a local hospital for her injuries.
Four children were passengers in the minivan. Their injuries varied from back pain to the possibility of broken legs.
Authorities say Anderson complained of chest, back and head pain and was transported to a local hospital. His 7-year-old passenger also complained of the same pain, but he was treated and released at the scene.
Authorities believe alcohol could be a factor in the crash.
The incident remains under investigation by the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office.
