City Police

Greencastle police responded to a pair of recent accidents.

* At 6:01 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, a two-vehicle accident occurred on Indianapolis Road just east of Fifth Street.

Justina Eakle, 25, Coatesville, was exiting the Pizza Hut parking lot in a 2004 Buick Regal. She said she could not see due to foliage in front of the restaurant.

She then pulled into traffic, into the path of Abigail Speedy, 18, Cloverdale, who was eastbound in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. She advised Officer Ed Wilson she was unable to avoid the collision.

Wilson noted that there were shrubs near the road that could have obstructed Eakle's view.

Officer Darrel Bunten also responded to the crash.

Damage was estimated at $2,500-$5,000.

* At 7:37 p.m. on Monday, a Greencastle man was thrown from his motorcycle near the intersection of Washington and Durham streets.

Brandon Query, 26, was eastbound on Washington Street on a 2003 Honda Shadow when a car in front of him stopped to turn north on Durham.

Query advised he tried to stop but the rear wheel locked up, causing him to slide. As he slid, the right peg caught on the curb, ejecting him from the bike.

He slid approximately 50 feet, hitting his head and suffering road rash and a possible broken ankle.

Damage was estimated at $1,000-$2,500.
