PRINCETON \u2014 An Olney, Illinois man died at the scene of a Tuesday afternoon accident on U.S. 41 at County Road 100 West.
An accident report released by the Gibson County Sheriff\u2019s Office Thursday morning says Bert A. Marvel, 79, Olney, a passenger in a 2004 Ford F150 pickup, died from injuries when he was trapped in the vehicle.
The report says Jennifer L. Smashey, 54, Olney, was driving the pickup northbound on U.S. 41 behind a 2002 Sterling commercial truck operated by Steven W. Couts, 60, Oakland City.
Couts accelerated at a low rate of speed in the right lane of the highway from the traffic signal at CR100 West, and Smashey was traveling at a higher rate of speed in that lane, according to the report, when she hit the back of the commercial truck with the front right side of the pickup.
Police said Smashey told authorities that she misjudged the speed of the other vehicle. Witnesses said Couts was traveling slowly taking off from the signal.
Indiana State Police were called to the scene to conduct a reconstruction of the accident scene.
Both drivers were taken from the scene to Deaconess Hospital.
According to the report, Smashey was charged with a felony count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, causing death.
The sheriff\u2019s office reported a man was injured in a separate one-car accident early Wednesday morning on Maple Tree Drive near Tulip Tree Drive at the Toyota plant.
In that 1:10 a.m. accident, Tony D. Shuffitt, Jr., 32, of Hope, was eastbound in a 2015 Ford Fusion and swerved to avoid an animal in the road. He overcorrected, and the vehicle went off the road and hit a sign, continuing down a steep embankment into a ditch before coming to rest.
According to the accident report, Shuffitt may have had a broken nose, but refused an ambulance.
