Matthew C. Janeway, 16, of West County Road 1100 South in Reelsville, was driving north on County Road 500 West when he lost control of his vehicle when he braked to avoid corn in the road. When he over corrected, he drove off of the west side of the road, rolling his 1997 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, according to a police report. The vehicle rolled again and came to a rest right side up, facing south. Janeway was not badly hurt, the report said.

Nicole L. Ayers, 32, of Howard Street in Greencastle, told police she was driving North on County Road 525 West when her 2002 Dodge Durango slid down an embankment and into a ditch after she tried to avoid hitting a deer, according to a police report. When Ayers tried to back out of the ditch, the SUV slid farther and flipped into the water on its roof. Ayers, however, was able to crawl out of the car and to the road. She escaped the crash without major injuries, the report said.

Damage was estimated at $5,000-10,000.
