Marvel, 79, Olney, a passenger in a 2004 Ford F150 pickup, died from injuries when he was trapped in the vehicle.<br \/>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.<br \/>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.<br \/>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.<br \/>Indiana State Police were called to the scene to conduct a reconstruction of the accident scene.<br \/>Both drivers were taken from the scene to Deaconess Hospital.<br \/>According to the report, Smashey was charged with a felony count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, causing death.<br \/>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.<br \/>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.<br \/>According to the accident report, Shuffitt may have had a broken nose, but refused an ambulance.<br \/><em>\u00a0<\/em><br \/>Editor, The Daily Clarion<br \/>{{description}}<br \/>Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.<br \/>Your comment has been submitted.<\/p>\n<p>Reported<br \/>There was a problem reporting this.<br \/>                                  <a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pdclarion.com\/users\/login\/?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pdclarion.com%2Fnews%2Folney-man-dies-in-u-s-41-crash%2Farticle_aaf8c964-4cc7-51f7-b4e5-0c90c62055b0.html\">Log In<\/a>                         <br \/><strong>Keep it Clean.<\/strong> Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd, racist or sexually-oriented language.<br \/> <strong>PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.<\/strong><br \/> <strong>Don&#039;t Threaten.<\/strong> Threats of harming another person will not be tolerated.<br \/> <strong>Be Truthful.<\/strong> Don&#039;t knowingly lie about anyone or anything.<br \/> <strong>Be Nice.<\/strong> No racism, sexism or any sort of -ism that is degrading to another person.<br \/> <strong>Be Proactive.<\/strong> Use the &#039;Report&#039; link on each comment to let us know of abusive posts.<br \/> <strong>Share with Us.<\/strong> We&#039;d love to hear eyewitness accounts, the history behind an article. <br \/>Sorry, there are no recent results for popular commented articles.<br \/>                  <strong>Success!<\/strong> An email has been sent to <strong><span class=\"user-email\"><\/span><\/strong> with a link to confirm list signup.              <br \/>                  <strong>Error!<\/strong> There was an error processing your request.              <br \/><span>Would you like to receive our daily news?&nbsp;<\/span><strong>Signup today!<\/strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdclarion.com\/news\/olney-man-dies-in-u-s-41-crash\/article_aaf8c964-4cc7-51f7-b4e5-0c90c62055b0.html\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please purchase a subscription to read our premium content.
