Sgt. Ed Wilson reported that a vehicle in front of Kaylee Campbell, 17, Coatesville, stopped abruptly, causing her to apply her brakes quickly to avoid a collision.

However, her 2008 Toyota Corolla was struck from behind when Sarah Clark, 17, Greencastle, was unable to stop her 2002 Jeep Liberty in time to avoid a collision, and a 2009 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by Seelye Stoffregen, 18, Greencastle, likewise couldn’t stop in time and struck the rear of the Clark car.

One recent citation was issued by city officers.

Stopped on County Road 150 West, Tincher was ticketed for having an expired license plate (2018).
