MILFORD — A Ford F-150 truck partially submerged in a pond after a two vehicle accident in Milford.

At 7:38 p.m. Friday, July 7, the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle accident at CR 300E and CR 1300N, Milford.

According to a KCSO accident report, Danny Groner, 76, Golden Pleasant Drive, Osceola, was headed northbound in his vehicle on CR 300E in a Honda CR-V where he approached a two-way stop for north and southbound traffic. Groner claims he never saw another vehicle until he was struck by the truck.

The second vehicle was a Ford F-150 truck driven by Eldon Chupp, 75, North West Street, Milford. Chupp was traveling westbound in his vehicle on CR 1300N when Chupp told officers the Honda CR-V came out into traffic and he was unable to avoid the crash.

Due to the collision, the Honda CR-V sustained damage to the rear passenger side and the Ford F-150 truck left the roadway after the initial crash and went into a pond, causing front end damage to the truck.

Groner complained of back pain. Two passengers in Groner’s vehicle also sustained injuries. Doreen L. Groner, 49, Mishawaka, complained of neck pain. Arlene F. Groner, 75, Osceola, complained of chest pain. Chupp also complained of back pain. The Groners were taken to Goshen Hospital.

Damages are estimated to be up to $25,000.
