North Vernon Man Killed in Crash Near Scipio

0

Yesterday, August 28th, at approximately 4:30 pm, the Indiana State Police and Jennings County Sheriff’s Department responded to a two vehicle crash on State Road 7 at County Road 500 North in Jennings County that claimed the life of a North Vernon man.

According to the initial investigation by Trp. Jacob Tolle, Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team, a 1993 Oldsmobile passenger car being driven by Dalton Rinker, age 19, North Vernon, was traveling eastbound on County Road 500 North at State Road 7.  Rinker’s vehicle entered State Road 7 into the path of a southbound 2018 Freightliner pulling a trailer, being driven by Leonel Guillen, age 39, Indianapolis.

Guillen’s vehicle struck the driver’s side of Rinker’s vehicle.  Rinker sustained fatal injuries in the collision.  He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Jennings County Coroner’s Office. Guillen was not injured in the crash.

It is not clear why Rinker pulled out into the path of Guillen’s vehicle.  The investigation is ongoing.

State Road 7 was closed for nearly two hours for crash investigation and cleanup.

Dalton Rinker’s family has been notified.

The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, Scipio/Geneva Township Fire Department, Jennings County EMS, and the Jennings County Coroner’s Office.

Sobriety Checkpoint in Jennings County to be Postponed

0

The sobriety checkpoint scheduled for this weekend in Jennings County will be postponed and scheduled for a later date.

However, Operation Pullover is underway which means that troopers will actively be on patrols around the Versailles District looking for those who are endangering others while operating vehicles while intoxicated. 

The Indiana State Police is encouraging anyone who observes erratic driving to call 911 and report the driving behavior along with the vehicle description and direction of travel.

The purpose of sobriety checkpoints is to remove those motorists from the highways who are alcohol or drug impaired and pose a danger to all who use the roadways.  Impaired drivers are responsible for billions of dollars in property damage, person injury, and death annually.   

To help to ensure your weekend is safe and enjoyable, observe the following tips:

  • Plan ahead and always use a designated driver.
  • Don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you’ve been consuming alcoholic beverages; call a taxi, a family member, or friend who has not been drinking to give you a ride.
  • If you are hosting a party, always offer alcohol-free beverages and make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver or allow them to spend the night.
  • Remember, Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.  Take the keys and never let a friend leave your sight if you think that they are about to drive while impaired.

If you see a vehicle exhibiting erratic driving behavior, call 911 and give a complete description of the vehicle, its location, and direction of travel.  These reports can be made anonymously.

North Vernon Woman Killed in Morning Crash

This morning, August 28th, shortly after 8:00 am, a two vehicle crash at the intersection of County Road 800 North and County Road 1300 East at the Jackson/Jennings County Line resulted in the death of a North Vernon, Indiana woman.

The initial investigation by Trp. Matt Holley, Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team indicated that a 2006 Ford Explorer being driven by Sharlene R. Whitsell, age 59, Seymour, was traveling eastbound on County Road 800 North at the intersection of County Road 1300 East.  

Whitsell’s vehicle entered the intersection into the path of a northbound 2003 Pontiac Montana being driven by Betty Lou Hicks, age 42, North Vernon, Indiana.  

The initial investigation indicated that Whitsell may have disregarded a stop sign prior to colliding with Hicks’ vehicle.

The vehicles collided in the middle of the intersection before leaving the roadway.  

Hicks’ vehicle then struck a tree before coming to a stop.  

Hicks sustained fatal injuries in the crash.  

She was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Jennings County Coroner’s Office.  Whitsell sustained minor injuries in the crash.  

She was transported to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Indiana where she was treated for her injuries.

Evidence at the scene indicated that Hicks was not wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred.  It is unknown at this time if Whitsell was properly restrained when the crash occurred.

Toxicology results are pending at this time however drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors in this crash.

The investigation is ongoing.  Hicks’ family has been notified.
