Driver Dies In Head-On Crash Near Greenfield
GREENFIELD, Ind. (WISH) A driver died Friday afternoon in a head-on crash of two cars near Greenfield, the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department said Friday night.
The driver’s name was being withheld until Saturday pending notification of family.
Deputies were called about 5:45 p.m. Friday to the area near the intersection of County Road 200 North and Sugar Creek Trail, about a mile west of Greenfield.
The Hancock County Fatal Crash Accident Team learned the driver was alone in a 2016 Nissan Altima going east on 200 North when the passenger-side wheels left the road and hit the end of a guardrail. That impact forced the Nissan into the path of a 2012 Volkswagen Passat driven by Ruthie Gregory, 64, of Shirley. The reason for the crash was not immediately known, the sheriff’s department said in a news release, and it was unknown if drugs and alcohol were factors.
