Two people were transported to Cameron Hospital by Steuben County EMS and one patient with multiple injuries was flown by Lutheran Air to a Fort Wayne hospital in a near head-on collision involving a mid-size car and an SUV. Orland and Salem Fire Rescue crews along with Steuben County EMS and units from the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department responded to an accident on U.S. 20 at the West Otter Lake curve at 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Sarah Williams, 24, of Orland, was tightly pinned in her vehicle when rescue units arrived. Rescue tools were used to free Williams in just over 30 minutes. Her condition is unknown at this time.
Head-on collisions are often times the most severe types of collisions, especially when a car and SUV are involved, says attorney Finis Price. Even though the police are investigating a collision, if you are involved in this type of collision it is imperative to employ an attorney as soon as possible. ”When we are contacted in collisions like this, we have our accident reconstructionist on the scene anywhere in the tri-state area immediately to investigate the crash and ensure critical evidence and measurements are made early,” Price explains.
