Hit pedestrian

A Portland woman hit another person along Water Street about 8:30 a.m. Friday.

Eunice White, 72, was driving her 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee east on Water Street while Laurie F. Loyd was getting her mail. White told police she thought she had moved over enough when she heard a loud noise and discovered she had struck Loyd.

Damage is estimated at less than $1,000. Loyd complained of back pain but declined medical treatment from emergency responders.

Off road

Damage is estimated between $10,000 and $25,000 after an Illinois man drove off Indiana 26 and rolled his vehicle about 6 p.m. Sunday.

Joseph A. Moreno, 33, Warrenville, was driving a 2020 Ford Edge southeast on the highway and driving along the curve near Division Road when he lost control and drove off the road. The vehicle went airborne, according to a Jay County Sheriff’s Office accident report, and rolled several times. Moreno told police he was driving too fast.

The vehicle Moreno was driving — it’s registered to Imperial Service Systems of Lombard, Illinois — was towed. Moreno sustained a scrape on his head.
