Drove off road
Two people were involved in a vehicle collision Monday afternoon on a stretch of icy road.
Joseph S. Bickel, 39, Larwill, was backing a 2012 Freightliner van into a driveway on the north side of county road 200 South near its intersection with county road 400 West. Gary W. Betz, 59, Portland, was driving his 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck west on county road 200 South. He attempted to stop to avoid Bickel, but his truck slid on the ice off the south side of the road. It struck a utility pole with its driver’s side and sideswiped the van with the passenger side.
The van Bickel was driving is registered to Quality Leasing Co., Indianapolis.
Damage in the 1:04 p.m. accident is estimated between $1,000 and $2,500.
