Putnam County Sheriff's Deputy Don Lewis responded to a single vehicle crash at 8:49 a.m. Wednesday.

Marcos Gonzalez, 22, Fort Wayne, was driving south on Lincoln Hill Drove when he hit a patch of ice and slid off the road into the yard at 28 Lincoln Hill Drive and struck a Hendricks County Power utility pole, breaking it in half.

The crash caused $5,000 to $10,000 in damage to the 2000 Ford F250 he was driving, though he was uninjured, according to the report.

North oF U.S. 36, particularly in the northeast most part of the county, received a slight accumulation of snow.
