Muncie, IN (March 8, 2026) – A woman suffered serious injuries following a two-vehicle crash on Sunday afternoon at an intersection in Delaware County, according to authorities.
Officials with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department said the collision occurred around noon at the intersection of Indiana State Road 67 and County Road 400 South near Muncie, Indiana.
Investigators reported that a car traveling along County Road 400 South attempted to cross the four-lane state highway and that, during the maneuver, the vehicle was struck by a southbound pickup truck traveling on State Road 67.
Authorities said a female passenger inside the car became trapped in the wreckage following the impact, and emergency responders worked to extricate her from the vehicle before she was transported by medical helicopter to IU Health Methodist Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
The drivers of both vehicles were also injured and were transported by ambulance to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital for evaluation. Emergency crews remained at the scene for some time while assisting those involved and clearing the roadway.
Officials with the Indiana Department of Transportation are reportedly considering potential changes at the intersection. According to authorities, proposed improvements may include simplifying turning movements and reducing conflict points in an effort to lower the number of crashes at the location.
The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
We hope for a full recovery for those injured in this incident.
Intersections on Multi-Lane Highways Can Present Increased Risks
Intersections where smaller roads cross multi-lane highways can present challenges for drivers attempting to navigate turning or crossing movements.
Roadways such as Indiana State Road 67 often carry faster-moving traffic, which can reduce the time available for drivers entering or crossing the highway to safely complete their maneuver.
Transportation agencies like the Indiana Department of Transportation sometimes evaluate intersections with repeated crashes to determine whether design changes, improved signage, or modified turning patterns could help improve safety.
