-- At 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, a three-vehicle mishap was reported on Shadowlawn Avenue near Robinwood Place.

With a 2001 UPS freight truck parked and its hazard lights flashing while making a delivery, Nicole Roddy, 23, Indianapolis, reportedly attempted to go around the vehicle in a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt.

As she approached on the left, the UPS delivery man started to walk across the street in front of the van, causing Roddy to react by braking quickly, Officer Ed Wilson reported.

Traveling behind Roddy in a 2010 Chevrolet Colorado, Bradley Dorsett, 51, Greencastle, also tried to go around the van and struck the rear of the Roddy car when it braked abruptly. The collision caused Roddy to careen into the UPS vehicle, Wilson reported.

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

At that time, the car's right side tires left the road, causing it to flip onto its top.
