LEESBURG — A Michigan City woman was arrested after a two-vehicle accident just west of Oswego on Saturday afternoon.

At 12:58 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, emergency personnel responded to a two-vehicle accident at the East Armstrong Road and CR 200E intersection, Leesburg.

According to a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office accident report, Trey T. Theard, 18, Fort Wayne, was traveling north on CR 200E in a gray 2017 Ford vehicle. Theard said he thought the CR 200E and East Armstrong Road intersection was a four-way stop.

Only traffic traveling north and south on CR 200E has a stop sign at this intersection. While attempting to cross the intersection, Theard’s vehicle was hit by a white 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, driven by Hollie A. Martin, 42, Michigan City.

Both Theard and Martin, along with four passengers in Theard’s vehicle, complained of pain after the accident. The passengers in Theard’s vehicle were Nicholas Butler, 16; Angelo Rongos, 16; and Cole Hanas, 16, all of Auburn; and Carson M. Craft, 17, Mentone. No one involved was taken to a hospital.

Martin was arrested at the scene on preliminary charges of possession of methamphetamine and driving while suspended prior.

Damages are estimated up to $25,000.
