JACKSON TOWNSHIP, IN (WTVB) – Thursday morning’s dense fog was a factor in a two vehicle crash west of Angola, Indiana.
The Steuben County Sheriff’s Department says the crash happened just after 5:30 a.m. in the area of U.S. 20 and County Road 500 West near the Tri-State Steuben County Airport.
They say their initial crash investigation indicated that 25-year-old Jamie Cassabon of Angola was traveling east on U.S. 20 in a 2015 Chevrolet Trailblazer.
He then merged into the westbound lane to go around a stopped garbage collection truck.
Cassabon’s vehicle then collided with a westbound Honda Passenger car driven by 60-year-old Orlando Mendez of Angola.
Mendez’s vehicle went off the road and came to a rest in a ditch. Mendez was pinned in his vehicle for a short time and had to be extricated by the Angola Fire Department.
He was taken to a Fort Wayne area hospital by Steuben County EMS for treatment of his injuries.
Assisting the Sheriff’s Office were the Angola Fire Department, Angola Police, Steuben County EMS and Steuben County Communications.
