Semi Rear-ends Another on US 30

Firefighters had to pry apart what was left of a semi tractor after a one truck rear-ended another on U-S 30 at Etna Green this morning. Hear Don McCune of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department describe how the driver of the rear semi was trapped in the wreckage. McCune says it took about 15 minutes to get the driver out. A helicopter picked him up at the scene -- along with a passenger in his truck -- and flew them straight to a Fort Wayne hospital. The driver is a 44-year-old Tennessee man who was in critical condition at last report. His passenger is a 32-year-old woman who’s in serious condition. The crash also hurt the 49-year-old Ohio man who was driving the truck that got rear-ended. EMS took him to Kosciusko Community Hospital, which later transferred him to Fort Wayne. Police had to close eastbound U-S 30 for several hours, but they had it back open by about five o’clock.
