Judy Jackson, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department Spokeswoman, says that a pickup truck, being driven by 67-year-old Terri Smith, of Columbus, was stopped in traffic in the east bound lane, at 7301 East 25th Street, waiting to turn into Bush Creek Stables.

Authorities say that an SUV, driven by 49-year-old Donna McDonley, of Hartsville, was slowing behind Smith’s pickup when she was rear-ended by a third vehicle driven by 69-year-old Paul Matney. Jackson says that the crash caused Matney to run off the road and into a corn field.
