Grant County – This afternoon, at approximately 2:25 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Grant County Sheriff’s Department, and the Converse Police Department responded to a three-vehicle crash on State Road 18 at State Road 13, which injured four people.

A preliminary crash investigation by Master Trooper Randy Renbarger revealed that Kimberly Schrank, 45, Batesville, IN, was driving a 2003 Chrysler minivan northbound on State Road 13. Schrank allegedly failed to stop for a stop sign at State Road 18. The Chrysler pulled into the path of an eastbound Freightliner semi-tractor, pulling a box trailer. The semi struck the Chrysler in the driver’s side causing the minivan to spin into the path of a westbound 2000 Jeep. The Jeep driven by Pamela Green, 48, Converse, IN, also hit the minivan. The Freightliner was driven by Randy Townsend, 36, Hartford City, IN.

Schrank was transported by ambulance to Marion General Hospital with a complaint of pain to her hip, neck, head, and chest. Three passengers in the Chrysler, Cameron McNutt, 7, Riley McNutt, 5, and Faith Schrank, 11, were all transported by ambulance to Marion General Hospital, with complaint of pain to various body parts. Faith Schrank also suffered a cut to her face. Townsend and Green were not injured.

All drivers and passengers in this crash were properly restrained with seat belts which Master Trooper Renbarger believes reduced the severity of the injuries.

Kimberly Schrank was issued a citation for failure to yield to cross traffic.

Master Trooper Renbarger was assisted at the crash scene by Master Motor Carrier Inspector Darryl Braene, Master Trooper Joe Swisher, the Converse Fire Department, and the Sweetser Fire Department.
