Traffic was closed down for over an hour Monday night near Walmart after a three-car crash happened shortly after 6 p.m.

Scanner traffic first indicated that as many as five people may have been injured. Samaritan air ambulance was called to the scene and transported two patients to a Fort Wayne hospital.

The accident happened in the northbound lane of SR 15 at CR 250 North.

Warsaw Police and Fire personnel and medics from Multi-Township EMS responded to the accident that involved a blue Ford F-150 pick-up operated by Ashten H. Jackson, 18, of Warsaw. Jackson suffered a fractured right femur and was flown to Parkview North ER in Fort Wayne. Three female juvenile passengers who were in the truck were treated at the scene and released to their parents.

Police say Jackson was northbound on SR 15 and ran a red light colliding with the driver’s side of a Dodge Magnum driven by Cecil W. Comadoll III, 38, also of Warsaw. Comadoll suffered fractured ribs, a ruptured spleen and a collapsed lung and was flown to Parkview North ER in Fort Wayne.

The impact of the crash caused Comadoll’s vehicle to be pushed in a Buick Enclave, driven by Gerri L. Burk, 57, of Milford. Burk was stopped in the southbound lane of SR 15 waiting for the traffic light. Neither Burk nor a passenger in his vehicle were hurt.

Drug and alcohol test are pending. Police say none of the injuries appear to be life threatening.

The Kosciusko County Fatal Accident Crash Team investigated the crash, which was said to result in approximately $20,000 in damages.

Warsaw Police were assisted by the F.A.C.T. team, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Indiana State Police, Warsaw/Wayne Fire Department, Multi-Township EMS and Parkview Samaritan Helicopter.
