GAS CITY, Ind. (WISH) An Indianapolis woman was taken to a hospital Thursday afternoon after she drove into the back of a semitractor-trailer on Interstate 69 in Grant County, Indiana State Police said in a news release.
State police said Laurie Collins, 46, was hurt in the crash that happened in the southbound lanes about 2:15 p.m. Thursday near the 261-mile marker. That’s about 2 miles north of the Gas City exit for U.S. 35 and State Road 22.
Road construction is underway on that section of Interstate 69, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
A preliminary investigation found that Collins was driving a 2016 Jeep Wrangler and failed to brake for slowed or stopped traffic and drove into the back of the 2015 Mack semitractor-trailer driven by Robert Wineberg, 54, of Onsted, Michigan.

So today I have had:
a txt alert 10 min after the local Tsunami Sirens started in my Community, about a half hour after the last quake that put my region in harms way. Excellent work
a txt alert once it was deemed safe to return home, gratefully received.
a PM begin a PRESS Conference (not a Covid briefing) of all the days happenings detailing some of todays important issues
an announcement of the carefully thought out by experts decision to complete the full 7 days lockdown as advertised (some people criticised the shortness of the previous 3 day lockdown)
Some people just love a good cheese with their half empty WHINE.

When the program started in February 2019, 28% of the people slated to get the free money had full-time jobs. One year later, 40% of those people had full-time jobs. A control group of people who did not get the money saw a 5 percentage point increase in full-time employment over that same time period.
