New Castle,IN : Two-vehicle crash sends one to hospital on March, Friday 23rd 2018
Around 5:35 p.m. Friday, Indiana State Police troopers responded to a two-vehicle roll over crash on westbound Interstate 70 near the 138 mile marker, just east of the Cambridge City exit. As a result of that crash, an Ohio man was taken to Reid Health Hospital in Richmond, then later to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton with what was believed to be non-life threatening injuries.
The preliminary investigation by ISP Trooper Bryan Rumple showed that two westbound vehicles, a 2015 Ford pickup and a 2013 Dodge Dart, had been involved in some sort of road rage incident. The Ford truck, driven by Eric Vandorsten of Canton, Ohio, was in the right lane and passed the Dodge Dart, driven by Justin Liponoga from Greenfield, which was in the left lane. The truck then swerved back into the left lane, contacting the front bumper of the Dodge Dart.
That contact caused the truck to swerve out of control, first into the median, then across both westbound lanes of traffic into the ditch on the north side of the road, where it rolled over several times. Vandorsten’s passengers, his wife and three young children, were all buckled in and properly restrained and only received minor scrapes and bruises. Vandorsten, however, was transported from the scene with what is believed to be a non-life threatening back injury. The driver of the Dodge Dart, Justin Liponoga, was uninjured.
The crash remains under investigation with future charges possible. The crash had Interstate 70 westbound blocked for over an hour, causing up to a 10-mile traffic back up at times. Rumple was assisted at the scene by the Milton and Cambridge City fire departments, Dublin EMS and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department.
