A Bourbon woman was one of two people hurt in a crash on U.S. 31 in Peru Thursday morning. Indiana State Police say Renee Stouder, 61, of Bourbon and Susan Konkle, 62, of rural Rochester, had to be airlifted, after the pickup truck they were in was rear-ended by a semi while stopped at a red light at Business U.S. 31.

They were taken to a Fort Wayne hospital with unknown injuries. The semi driver, Trina Fay Carlson, 26, of Stanwood, Michigan, wasn’t injured.

Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
