BARTHOLOMEW/SHELBY COUNTIES, Ind. – The German Township Volunteer Fire Department and Flat Rock Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched to the 79.5-mile marker of I-65 for a crash on Tuesday afternoon, near the Shelby/Bartholomew county line.
Crews located a van that had slid down the embankment and into heavy brush and tree limbs. None of the four occupants was injured, however, the two in the front of the vehicle were unable to exit because of the brush.
Firefighters used chainsaws to cut away the limbs and then helped the passengers get up the embankment.
