LEESBURG — A three-vehicle collision at 7819 N. SR 15, just north of Leesburg, backed northbound traffic up for over a mile, this morning, Wednesday, Oct. 14. The accident occurred at approximately 7:54 a.m. Southbound traffic was utilizing CR 800N to Old 15 and into Leesburg to detour around the crash. The road was re-opened after wreckers arrived at the scene.

According to one of the drivers, he was northbound and slowed his Chevrolet Traverse down for a vehicle turning into the residence at that location. A Chrysler 300S, which was also being driven northbound, struck the back of a northbound Nissan Sentra. The impact then pushed the Sentra into the back of the Traverse.

There were a total of five people in the vehicles. All five signed off any medical treatment.

Leesburg Fire Department, Lutheran EMS and Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene.

This Chevrolet Traverse was struck after a vehicle traveling behind it was struck in a chain-reaction crash this morning.
