One man was taken to the hospital after personnel from the Greene County Sheriff’s Department and Ambulance Service, the Indiana State Police and at least three fire departments responded to the scene of an accident involving six vehicles south of Bloomfield late Monday afternoon. Stephen C. Floyd, 57, Bloomfield, was transported by ambulance to Greene County General Hospital with head and neck pain. No additional information was released on his injuries. Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy D. Leon Dunigan and Det. George Dallaire both responded to the scene along with Indiana State Police Trooper Eric Russell and the Owensburg Fire Department, Taylor Fire Department and Crane Fire Department.

Dunigan said the accident occurred at approximately 4:24 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 231 and State Road 58, also known as Hasler’s Junction or Time Oil. The accident report states Donald L. Black, 77, of Piqui, Ohio, was eastbound on U.S. 231 in a 1995 black Dodge truck. He tried to stop at the junction with SR 58 but was unable and the truck began sliding on wet pavement. Dunigan reported Black’s truck struck another vehicle, a silver 2005 Toyota driven by Floyd, in the rear causing it to then strike another vehicle in the rear as it was turning north. The third vehicle was a white 2007 Chevrolet driven by William D.Hidey, 44, Bloomfield. According to Dunigan’s report, Black’s truck then swerved to the south and struck three more vehicles that were parked at Hasler’s Junction.

Though police are investigating the crash, it is imperative to retain at attorney in cases such as this.  All too often police investigators officially say the cause of a crash is unknown yet our accident reconstructionist will tell us otherwise, says attorney Finis Price with Kentucky Lawyers.  ”Quick response is the key to ensuring all witnesses’ statements are recorded and an accurate picture of the events which took place are captured,” he says.

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.

According to a report by the Kentucky State Police report that a 1994 Dodge Ram pickup, operated by a James Downs of New Haven, Kentucky was westbound on KY54 near Green Valley, Kentucky when a 1990 Honda, operated by a David Parker Jr, of Leitchfield, Kentucky was eastbound on KY54. Mr. Downs vehicle, for unknown reasons, made an abrupt left turn into the path of Mr. Parker’s vehicle. Mr. Parker attempted to avoid hitting Mr. Downs, but was not successful. A 2005 Nissan, operated by Tami Salmon of Falls of Rough, Kentucky was eastbound behind Mr. Parker’s vehicle and attempted to avoid the first collision but struck Mr. Parker’s vehicle in the rear end. Mr. Parker and a passenger in Mr. Downs vehicle were transported to Twin Lakes Regional Medical center and Mr. Parker was later flown to University of Louisville by Air Methods. No charges expected to be filed. The investigation is ongoing by Trooper D. Norris with the Kentucky State Police. Grayson County Sheriff’s office, Leitchfield Fire Department, and Grayson County EMS responded to the scene as well.

A New Haven man’s truck turning into oncoming traffic caused a three-car collision on Tuesday morning.  Kentucky State Police Trooper Bruce Reeves explained that James Downs of New Haven was traveling westbound in his 1994 Dodge Ram pickup on Hwy54. For some reason Downs turned into the lane of a 1990 Honda, driven by David Parker Jr. of Leitchfield. Parker was headed eastbound on HWY 54. Parker tried to avoid hitting Downs, but was not able to.  Tami Salmon of Falls of Rough, who was driving a 2005 Nissan behind Parker, tried to avoid being involved in the collision. She ended up crashing into the rear-ending Parker’s vehicle. Air Methods transported Parker to University of Louisville hospital, after being initially taken to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center. A passenger in Down’s truck was also taken to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center for injuries.

Even though the KSP’s accident reconstructionist is investigating the collision, it is important that anyone involved retain their own attorney so that the lawyer can have their own accident reconstructionist work on the scene early. Critical evidence can often times be missed and time is of the utmost importance in collisions such as this.

The Courier-Journal is reporting a mid-afternoon head-on collision happened roughly half of a mile north of Ky. 733. The accident potentially injured three people with air medical transport being called in, according to the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Department.

“Unfortunately this type of head on collision resulting from a vehicle crossing the center line happens all too often,” says Finis Price, an attorney with Kentucky Lawyers group who handles motor vehicle collisions across the state.  Despite the tremendous grief involved with such a tragic loss it is imperative for the family members to retain an attorney as soon as possible to preserve vital evidence at the scene of the collision and in the vehicles involved.  ”Many people assume the police preserve all of the evidence you need but that simply isn’t the case,” Price says.  There are many cases he’s represented victim’s where the police simply didn’t have the time or manpower to do a proper reconstruction.  Fortunately family members retained Price quickly and he was able to send his expert accident reconstructionist to the scene of the collision within hours of the accident despite it occurring in a rural county. “The evidence he obtained resulted in the correct party being named as the cause of the collision despite the police officer’s erroneous police report,” he reports.

According to Kentucky State Police Post 7 Richmond, they are investigating a fatal two-car collision which occurred at 7:58 a.m., in the Lincoln County community of Hustonville. The collision occurred at the intersection of US 127 and KY 2141 at Hustonville. Gordon Kaiser, age 38 of Hustonville was traveling North on US 127. Kaiser was operating a 2002 Toyota Sequoia. Amy Vonlinger, age 31 of Hustonville was traveling on KY 2141 in a 1997 Dodge Intrepid. Ms. Vonlinger apparently merged onto US 127 directly into the path of Mr. Kaiser. The Kaiser vehicle struck the passenger doors of the Vonlinger car, and pushed it into a guardrail. West Lincoln County EMS responded to the scene and transported Ms. Vonlinger, and her five-year old daughter, Ryllie, to Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville. Ryllie Vonlinger was pronounced dead at Ephraim McDowell RMC by the Boyle County Coroner’s Office. Kaiser was not injured. A KSP Collision Reconstructionist has responded to the scene and will assist with the investigation. The collision remains under investigation by Trooper Rodney Wren and Sergeant Starlin Hacker. Next-of-kin have been notified.
