A brown 1987 Chevrolet van driven by Charles Ottinger of Cloverdale rear-ended a white 2004 Chevrolet Classic driven by Miranda Smith from Camby, who had stopped at a pedestrian crosswalk on Jackson Street in front of the courthouse in Greencastle. Ottinger's vehicle pushed Smith's vehicle into Sheila Altmeyer, who was crossing the road. Altmeyer was taken to the Putnam County Hospital with right hip and arm pain and abrasions according to Officer Ed Wilson of the Greencastle Police Department. Operation Life, the Greencastle Fire Department, the Putnam County Sheriff's Department and the Greencastle Police Department responded to the accident, which caused a traffic back-up.
