At approximately 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning Churubusco fire, police and EMS were sent to U.S. 33 just south of the Allen/Whitley county line with a “personal injury accident” and a “vehicle rollover”.

Fire Chief Roger Bennett was first on the scene of the single vehicle accident and found a single person had been ejected from her car. The Samaritan helicopter was called in to fly the victim to an area hospital, but she had sustained too many injuries and was pronounced at the scene.

The following morning, almost exactly 24-hours later, Churubusco units were called to U.S. 33 just south of Carroll for a personal injury accident with a vehicle on fire. The location of the accident actually ended up at U.S. 33 & Chase Road. Both parties involved sustained minor injuries, even though one subject had to be extricated because his doors had jammed upon impact.

Friday afternoon continued the spree of accidents on U.S. 33 when units were called to Hildebrand Rd for another rollover accident with minor injuries. While on the scne of that incident, reports came in of another accident just north of their scene. It was soon discovered this was nothing more than a minor accident with no injuries.

By now the fire department had been called to four accidents in four days and just after midnight Saturday, rescue crews were dispatched to U.S. 33 & Carroll Rd again for a rollover accident with injuries.

Further information obtained by emergency dispatchers found that the actual location of the accident was on 150 North just west of the Allen/Whitley county lines near the Eel River golf course.

The passenger of that accident was transported to an area hospital for his injuries and the driver refused treatment
