Sheriff's Dept.

Several recent property-damage accidents were investigated by the Putnam County Sheriff's Department.

* At 4:50 p.m. on Friday, Randall M. Hayes, 55, Fillmore, was westbound on U.S. 40 in his 2010 Ford F150 and due to the amount of snow, he was unable to turn at the secondary crossover (crossing between east and westbound lanes on U.S. 40 to a private residence) to his home located on the south side of the highway.

Hayes told Reserve Officer Richard Lambert he continued west on County Road 675 East where snow depth allowed for him to reach a primary crossover and turn into the eastbound lane. Using his left turn signal, he approached the County Road 675 East intersection.

Andrew L. Feutz, 21, Quincy, said he did observe Hayes' turn signal. However, Hayes advised that he might have swung "a little" too wide in preparation for his turn to the left.

Feutz, seeing the right movement by Hayes, believed that the turn signal was "stuck on" and that Hayes was actually moving to the right lane, began to pass him on the left in his 1998 Ford F150. Hayes, unaware of Feutz's movement, initiated his turn at which point a collision occurred.

Hayes later determined his vehicle was no longer drivable and was transported home by the Putnam County Sheriff's Department.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.

* At 1:21 a.m. on Sunday, Joseph R. French, 18, Cloverdale, was southbound on County Road 825 East when he lost control of his 2004 Saturn L300 and left the roadway.

French advised Lambert that the vehicle then traveled parallel to the roadway until it encountered a drainage ditch. The car dropped into the drainage ditch, where it further struck a culvert pipe and concrete/metal sidewalls causing the car to spin perpendicular to the roadway.

French and his passenger, Abigail Stayte, were able to extricate themselves from the vehicle.

French refused medical attention for a small laceration on his left hand.

Damage was estimated at $10,001-$25,000.

* At 7:57 a.m. on Monday, Harold W. Barnett, 73, Greencastle, collided with Sara Bolinger, 32, Bloomington, who was driving a 2013 Ford Fusion.

Reserve Deputy Tyler Turner advised that the two collided while Barnett was driving his 2009 Chevrolet HHR through the Putnam County Hospital parking lot without using the proper lanes.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.

* At 2:17 p.m., Gabrielle K. McCammack, 23, Coatesville, was eastbound on State Road 240 when the 2004 Ford F150 ran off the roadway due to the weather conditions and struck a utility pole.

Damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000.

* At 7:22 a.m. on Tuesday, Wilbur L. Warner, 78, Brazil, was northbound on County Road 375 West.

Warner told Chief Deputy Tom Helmer he lost control of his 2008 Chevrolet Colorado due to the ice-covered roadway and slid across the southbound lanes before exiting the roadway on the west side.

The vehicle then slid across the grass shoulder and struck a fence.

Damage was listed at $1,001-$2,500.

* At 8:16 a.m. on Wednesday, Christa N. Ridgeway, 32, Cloverdale, was eastbound on the access road leading to Central Elementary School when she entered a sweeping curve to the right.

Ridgeway advised Deputy Mike Downing that she lost control of her 2010 Buick Enclave due to the ice on the roadway and slid across the centerline, entered the westbound lane, sideswiping Jennifer A. Adkins, 34, Greencastle.

Adkins advised Downing that she was westbound on the access road in her 2003 Chrysler Voyager when she observed Ridgeway lose control of her vehicle and slide over into her lane.

Adkins tried to avoid Ridgeway, but was unable to due to the guardrail to her right.
