* At 5:34 p.m. Wednesday, Clyde D. Clearwaters, 70, Greencastle, was northbound on Main Street in Cloverdale in a 1978 Chevrolet pickup when he passed out from an unknown medical condition.

His vehicle traveled across the southbound lane, jumped the curb and went through the ditch into the Cloverdale Liquors parking lot.

In the parking lot, Clearwaters' truck struck a parked 1998 Lincoln Continental registered to Mark Terry, Cloverdale. The impact pushed the Lincoln into a 2010 Audi A4 owned by Harjender K. Parewal, Plainfield.

Total damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000.

* At 5:05 p.m. Thursday, Shelby C. Winsted, 18, Cloverdale, was backing a 2006 Ford F250 out of a spot in the Cloverdale Value Mart lot.

Reserve Deputy Kent Goldman estimated damage at $1,001-$2,500.
