One recent accident resulted in minor injuries to one driver, Greencastle City Police reported.

Officer Josh Smith reported that John Sims, 56, Fillmore, was eastbound, driving a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, when he stopped to turn left onto Fillmore Road.

Also eastbound was Kayla McCloud, 25, Plainfield, driving a Nissan Verano. She did not immediately notice that Sims had stopped to turn, police said. She swerved to miss the Sims truck but ended up sideswiping it.
