By Ray Roth Correspondent ARGOS — An Argos woman and her friend were injured Tuesday morning when their pick-up truck went through a stop sign at Juniper and 15th Roads before it was hit by another truck pulling a trailer filled with hogs. It took rescue workers about 45 minutes to cut Joann Baumgart, 74, and 73-year-old Robert Thompson of Vallonia, Ind. from the vehicle after it flipped over on its side at the southeast corner of the intersection.
The driver of the other truck, 33-year-old Jeremy Houin, was not injured. Houin told police that he was southbound on Juniper Road about 8:40 Tuesday morning when Thompson’s pick-up pulled into his path. The hog trailer also turned over, but only a few of the animals had minor injuries. Thompson and Baumgart were being treated for what Indiana State Police believed to be non-life threatening injuries at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth. Fire departments and paramedics from Argos and Plymouth were involved in the rescue and clean-up. |
