Indiana State Police trooper hurt after rear-ending trailer in Grant County
GRANT COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) An Indiana State Trooper was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital Tuesday after his involvement in a crash in Grant County.
According to a press release from the department, the crash took place just after 9:00 a.m. on State Road 22 near County Road 600 East.
An investigation determined that Senior Trooper Weston Shanks was heading west on State Road 22 while on patrol. A truck hauling a trailer going in the same direction slowed down to make a right turn ahead of Shanks. The squad car then rear-ended the trailer, went off the road and came to rest in a ditch.
Shanks, a 13-year veteran of the force, was taken from the scene by air ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the truck was not hurt. It’s not known why Shanks hit the trailer.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
