SYRACUSE — A Nappanee woman was flown from the scene of a single-vehicle accident near Dewart Lake on Friday evening.

Shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, April 5, emergency personnel were dispatched to the intersection of CR 1000N and CR 450E, Syracuse. When first responders arrived on scene, they located a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer off the south side of the roadway, just west of CR 450E.

Alisha Rowe, 38, Nappanee; and a nine-year-old boy were both ejected from the vehicle. Rowe was flown from the scene to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne and the boy was taken by EMS to Lutheran Hospital. Both patients were suffering from internal injuries.

The 2006 Trailblazer was traveling west on CR 1000N, approaching CR 450E, when it left the north side of the roadway for an unknown reason and traveled through a field. The Trailblazer then went across CR 450E and continued through a field. The Trailblazer rolled several times and came to a rest off the south side of CR 1000N.

The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Kosciusko County Fatal Team, Syracuse Police Department, Turkey Creek Fire Territory, MedFlight Air Ambulance, Tippecanoe Township Fire Territory, and the Kosciusko County Highway Department.
