Minor damages were reported from a car v. semi accident Apirl 17.
According to an Osceola police report, Larry Kirscher, Osceola, was traveling north on Highway 69 in a 1999 Peterbilt semi with a tailer full of pigs. Kirscher was headed north from around the Weldon area, and realized right before he got to the south side of Osceola that his right turn signal was still on; he then turned it off. Behind Kirscher was a 2000 Toyota Tacoma driven by Gail Clausen of Van Wert, who had observed the turn signal to have been on the entire time Glausen had been behind Kirshcer.
At the intersection of Highways 69 and 34, Kirscher began to turn right onto Highway 34 to go east. Clausen attempted to go around Kirscher to also go east, at which point Kirscher turned and collided with Clausen. Clausen told officers that Kirscher had never shut off his turn signal, and believed that he would continue on north as he had never turned.
Damage is estimated at $2,000 and minor to the Peterbilt and $1,000 and functional to the Toyota.
