Just before 10 a.m. Friday, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a two vehicle personal injury accident at the intersection of State Road 75 and County Road 500 North.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they discovered three people had sustained injuries from the crash. Two of the injured individuals were transported to local hospitals, while one person was airlifted to Indianapolis for treatment.
While deputies were attending to the occupants of the vehicles, a male co-worker of one of the crash victims arrived at the scene and approached the vehicles. The man was electrocuted while attempting to cross over a live power line that was downed by the vehicles. He was airlifted to Indianapolis where his condition is unknown at this time.
Crews from the power company will be in the area for the next several hours repairing damage from the accident. State Road 75 will remain open during this time.
