A woman was killed Wednesday afternoon when her car was hit broadside by a semitrailer at Ind. 18 and 500 East in Cass County.

The woman’s name was not released pending family notification, Cass County Coroner Randy Rozzi said.

She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the 1 p.m. crash.

The woman was driving a Pontiac Grand Prix north on 500 East when she drove into the path of the semi driven by an Illinois man. The semi was traveling west on Ind. 18 and tried to stop.

After hitting the car, the semi and the car came to a rest on the north side of Ind. 18.

The driver of the truck, Gary Schoonveld, 53, Justice, Ill., was not injured. Cass County deputies were also assisted by Galveston Police Department, Galveston Fire Department and Young America Fire Department.

  • Legislature had little taste for alcohol bills

    When it comes to alcohol, the 2013 legislative session may be marked more by what it didn’t do to boost booze sales than what it did.
    Repeating recent history, the General Assembly turned away efforts to expand Sunday alcohol sales and allow gas stations and convenience stores to sell cold beer – the latter of which has prompted a lawsuit.

  • Summer Place Car Show wheels in for its 11th year

     It started with a broken down car on U.S. 31. Decades later, 500-plus cars roll in and rewind time for the 11th Annual Summer Place Car Show.
    Jim Richardson founded the event as a way to raise money for his family’s foundation, A Home for Every Child. The foundation, which raises money to help children in need of adoption, is one that’s close to Richardson’s heart just as his love for the 1950s is close to his roots.
