At 3:05 p.m. Thursday, May 21, Warsaw Police Department, Warsaw-Wayne Fire Department and Multi-Township EMS responded to an automobile accident just north of the intersection of Rozella Road and Fisher Avenue (SR 15).

Rosemary Trump, 65, CR 300E, Claypool, stated that she was northbound on Fisher Avenue, and “the next thing she knew she was spinning.” Trump didn’t remember anything after losing control of the vehicle.

Austin L. Metzger, 24, CR 1400N, Wabash, was eastbound on Rozella Road, turning left onto Fisher Avenue. He stated Trump disregarded a red light. Trump and Metzger entered the intersection at approximately the same time. Metzger struck the driver’s side rear panel of Trump’s vehicle.

The impact forced Trump’s vehicle into a vehicle driven by James A. Griffard, 46, Iron Bridge Road, Cicero, who was southbound on Fisher Avenue and slowing at the traffic light. Trump’s vehicle struck the driver’s side rear panel and rear wheel of Griffard’s vehicle.

The driveshaft of Griffard’s vehicle was also damaged, requiring the vehicle be towed from the scene. A witness, who was behind Trump in traffic, reported Trump was driving erratically before running the red light.

Griffard was transported to Kosciusko Community Hospital for complaints of neck pain. No other injuries were reported at the scene. Damage was estimated up to $50,000.
