4 still in hospital after deadly week on roads

By Joe Gerrety, Journal and Courier

Four people injured in traffic crashes earlier this week were still hospitalized Friday night.

• Rex Bower, 36, of Attica was in critical condition Friday at Home Hospital.
• Kathryn A. Jones, 51, of Lafayette was in critical condition Friday at Home Hospital.
• Trevor A. Calloway, 21, of Battle Ground, the only survivor of a head-on crash that killed two others Wednesday morning on Indiana 25 North, was in fair condition Friday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center.
• Amanda L. Daniel, 25, of Lafayette, who was struck by a pickup truck that fled the scene on Kossuth Street while scraping frost from her windshield Tuesday morning, was in satisfactory condition Friday at St. Elizabeth.

Bower was driving a pickup eastbound on Indiana 25 about 10 a.m. Thursday when a semi-tractor trailer driven southbound on U.S. 231 by Richard Barnett, 54, of Ontario, Ind., ran the red light and struck Bower's vehicle.

Jones was driving northbound in a 2000 Mazda Protégé on U.S. 231 about 2:30 p.m. Thursday when she failed to stop for a red light at Indiana 25. Her car collided with and became wedged under the trailer of a semi driven by Morgan C. Arnold, 42, of DeFuniak Springs, Fla.

Calloway was driving a Chevrolet Blazer northbound on Indiana 25 North at 5:57 a.m. Wednesday when he went left of center and crashed head-on into a southbound Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck driven by David E. Robinson, 32, of Flora.

Robinson was killed, along with William D. Gustafson, 18, of Colburn, a passenger in Calloway's SUV.

In addition to these crashes, two people were killed in traffic wrecks in the Lafayette area this past week:

• Bryan K. Snyder, 18, of 10625 E. County Road 40 S., died Wednesday morning at Home Hospital from injuries he suffered when the pickup truck he was driving went off Indiana 25 and rolled near Indiana 28 on Tuesday night.
• Chris M. Scott, 29, of DeMotte, died in a 12:30 p.m. Wednesday crash on Interstate 65 in northeastern Newton County. Scott was driving a truck southbound when he lost control, went across the grassy median and collided with the trailer of a northbound semi.
