BREAKING: Accident leaves car wedged under semi

U.S. 31 southbound closed at Smith Road intersection.

By Rob Burgess Tribune night editor

According to the scanner, an accident at the intersection of Smith Road and U.S. 31 left a car wedged underneath a semi. The call came over the scanner at around 9:20 p.m. Thursday. U.S. 31 southbound was closed just north of the intersection shortly thereafter.

A Samaritan medical helicopter was immediately put on standby by responding agencies. Flares were deployed in effort to clear a landing space in the southbound lane. The helicopter touched down just after 10 p.m. The female driver of the tan-colored four-door sedan was responsive as she was extracted from the scene. She was airlifted to a Fort Wayne hospital. She appeared to be the only passenger in the car.

No further information was available as of press time.

  • 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.

    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.
