The Columbus Police Department is looking into a crash that involved two vehicles that took place on South Marr Road on Tuesday afternoon. Three persons were wounded as a result of the collision. According to Lt. Matt Harris, a spokesperson for the Columbus Police Department, officers from the CPD responded to the 700 block of South Marr Road shortly after 1:30 p.m. in response to a report of a car collision that involved injuries.
Officers later determined that Luis Y. Otero, 16, of Columbus was driving a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt when he lost control of his vehicle and crossed over the center line, striking the head on a 2016 Toyota Corolla driven by Cheryl A. Hanner, 66, of Norman, Indiana. Otero was traveling north in the 700 block of South Marr Road when the collision occurred.
Otero and his passenger, 16-year-old Kole D. Shewmaker from Columbus, both sustained injuries as a result of the collision. According to Harris, Shewmaker was transported by IU Lifeline to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he is currently in a state described as “extremely critical.” Otero was also transported by helicopter to the IU Methodist Hospital for medical care, where he is still in critical condition. In addition, Hanner was sent to IU Methodist Hospital to get treatment for major injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. The Bartholomew County Accident Reconstruction Team is now conducting an investigation into the collision.
