Marks told Deputy Stephen Smith he was not familiar with the road and was unaware of the sharp turn to the north. He noticed the turn too late and attempted to brake, but could not slow enough to make the turn.

The SUV continued straight off the road and hit a guy wire from a power pole, continuing into a second set of guy wires.

Marks and two passengers declined medial attention. A fourth person also said she was not injured, but she was pregnant and evaluated by Operation Life medics. The fourth passenger was a minor, therefore unable to sign a statement of release, so she was taken to Putnam County Hospital.

Hendricks County REMC was called to the scene and determined it to be safe.

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