Two drivers were injured after a head-on collision on 25th Street at Bonnell Road.
Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the crash at 8:49 a.m. Thursday, deputies said.
A blue Taurus, driven by Michelle L. Townsend, 48, Westport, was traveling on 25th Street approaching Bonnell road when she saw a white truck heading directly toward her vehicle in the westbound lane, deputies said.
The driver of the truck, David E. Wright, 57, Columbus, told deputies he believed he lost control of his vehicle after hitting black ice on the bridge, deputies said.
Wright’s truck hit the south guardrail, propelling it into the Townsend’s car, deputies said.
Townsend was trapped in her vehicle after the accident and extricated by Columbus firefighters before being transported by helicopter to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Wright was transported to Columbus Regional Hospital by ambulance.
Deputies said 25th Street, at the bridge, was closed for about an hour while the accident scene was cleared.
