On Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at approximately 8:35 pm, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash in the 7100 block of St. Joe Avenue. When deputies arrived on scene, they discovered a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant, crashed against a telephone pole off the east side of the roadway. The vehicle had heavy damage to the driver’s side area. The investigation and cleanup caused St. Joe Avenue to be shut down for approximately 45 minutes.
Deputies were unable to interview the driver of the Mitsubishi, Rebecca Jean Decarli, due to her being in and out of consciousness at the scene of the crash. Ms. Decarli was transported to Deaconess Hospital with a broken collar bone and head injury.
The investigation is ongoing; however, drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash.
