Putnam County sheriff’s deputies investigated one recent property-damage crash.

• At 10:02 a.m. on Monday, Sheryle D. Cash, 68, Greencastle, was pulling onto eastbound U.S. 40 near the Hendricks County Line from County Road 200 South in a 2014 Fiat 50L. William M. Strahm, 49, Bloomington, was eastbound in the right lane of U.S. 40 in a 2005 Kenworth T600 pulling a trailer, both of which were registered to Landstar Ranger.

Cash told Lt. Donnie Pettit she did not see the tractor-trailer and pulled into the eastbound lanes, hitting the driver’s side rear tire area of the trailer.

Strahm could not avoid the collision. Pettit estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.
