The road in this area is narrow and both drivers were approaching a hillcrest. Deputy Brian Helmer reported that skid marks indicated both drivers were left of center as they approached one another.

Hornback told Helmer he did not see Wilson approaching. Wilson said he saw Hornback was left of center and could not avoid the collision.

Hornback complained of pain all over his body and was taken to the hospital by family members. Wilson had pain in his hand and was taken to Putnam County Hospital by Putnam County EMS.

Both vehicles were towed. Helmer estimated damage at $25,000-$50,000.

Voorhees was transported from the scene by Putnam County EMS.

Ducker estimated damage at $5,000-$10,000.

• At 5:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, Wayne W. Campbell, 55, Coatesville, was westbound on County Road 600 South in a 2019 Dodge Ram when the sun obstructed his ability to see the road.

The truck crossed the oncoming lane and ran up a bridge guardrail. The vehicle slid across the top of the guardrail and then rolled one time on the other side of the bridge.
