FAILURE TO OBSERVE — Mary Pippenger, 81,41093 Pembroke, Goshen, failed to notice a Nissan King Cab pickup traveling west on US 6 and pulled into its path early Wednesday afternoon, resulting in a three-vehicle collision. ’ Pippenger told police that she did stop at the intersection of CR 33 and US 6, just north of Syracuse. Because she did not observe any oncoming vehicles. Pippenger continued south on CR 33 into the path of the truck driven by Mark Hilbish, 34, Mogadore, Ohio. Hilbish was unable to avoid the collision and struck Pippenger’s Lincoln Town Car in the left rear quarter panel causing the car to spin through the intersection and strike a third vehicle, driven by Michael E. White, 29, 307 Mossberg, Goshen. White was stopped on CR 33 at the intersection facing north when the front of his Ford Ranger pickup was struck by the rear of the Pippenger vehicle. Hilbish's pickup continued west through the intersection before coming to rest on the south berm of US 6. The accident, which occurred Wednesday, July 19, resulted in more than $5,000 damage. No one was injured in the mishap. (Photos by Stacey Lesch)
