City Police

Two recent property-damage accidents were investigated by Greencastle City Police officers.

-- At 9:02 a.m. Wednesday, a two-vehicle mishap was reported on State Road 240, 500 feet east of Capital Drive.

Capt. Mike Hanlon reported that Dwight Trueblood, 60, Greencastle, was eastbound, driving a 1996 Ford Explorer when he slowed behind an eastbound semi that was turning left into the Ascena (formerly F.B. Distro) lot.

Also eastbound was Paul N. Trissel, 33, Greencastle, driving a 2006 Dodge Ram and pulling a trailer. Capt. Hanlon reported that Trissel passed the Trueblood vehicle on the right, and when he cut back into the driving lane, his vehicle clipped the Explorer, resulting in an estimated $1,000-$2,500 damage.

-- At 3:20 p.m. Monday, a two-vehicle accident was reported on Washington Street, 20 feet east of Indiana Street as the power steering box apparently broke on a 1996 Mack dump truck driven by Jeffrey Suhre, 55, Indianapolis.

With that malfunction, the driver reportedly lost control of the dump truck, which struck a parked, unoccupied 2011 Hyundai, owned by Teresa Parrish, Greencastle.

Total damage was estimated at $5,000-$10,000.

One recent traffic citation was issued by city officers.
