Collision

Two Jay County residents complained of pain after a crash at the intersection of county roads 200 West and 200 North about 6 p.m. Monday.

Garth L. LeMester, 80, Portland, was driving east on county road 200 West when he stopped at the intersection with county road 200 North. He continued east into the path of a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox driven by 21-year-old Ashlyn D. Denny of Pennville. Denny had been south bound on county road 200 West, which did not have a stop sign at the intersection.

LeMester complained of lower body pain, and Denny complained of arm pain. Both their vehicles were towed, with damage estimated between $25,000 and $50,000.

Lost control

A New Jersey woman’s car was towed after she hit a utility pole along county road 200 South in Jay County about 9 p.m. Monday.

Bernadett Carney, 54, Dumont, was driving east on county road 200 South when her 2003 Honda CR-V veered off the south side of the road. She overcorrected and lost control, causing her to drive off the north side of the road and hit a pole.

Carney complained of chest pain. Damage is estimated between $10,000 and $25,000.
