Pickup Versus Dump Truck Crash Sends Two to Hospitals

Two people were taken to hospitals Tuesday, after a pickup truck reportedly crashed into a dump truck, causing it to roll over.

Officials with the Marshall County Police Department believe Charles L. Cramer of Plymouth was driving his GMC pickup south on Lilac Road shortly after noon. Police say Cramer failed to stop at Veterans Parkway while trying to make a right turn, and crashed into the right rear section of a dump truck driven by Jonathan R. Bruce of Michigan City. That reportedly caused the dump truck to slide sideways and roll onto its side.

Bruce was airlifted to Memorial Hospital with complaints of pain in his right leg and hip, while Cramer was checked over at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth.
