Traffic Crash on State Road 65 Leaves Two Hospitalized
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of State Road 65 and Plainview Drive for a motor vehicle collision involving two vehicles where one of the drivers was trapped inside with potentially life-threatening injuries. Sheriff’s deputies arrived to find that a black 2016 Chevrolet Equinox traveling north on State Road 65 had crossed the centerline into oncoming southbound traffic and collided head-on into a blue 2013 Buick Lucerne. Due to the extent of the damage, the driver of the black Chevrolet Equinox was trapped inside the vehicle with multiple obvious fractures. Both drivers were transported to area hospitals for immediate medical attention, but the actual extent of the injuries is undetermined at this time. The Sheriff’s Office does not suspect that drugs or alcohol played a role in this crash; however, the crash will remain under investigation pending the results of an official analysis by the Indiana Department of Toxicology.
MEET COUNTY COMMISSIONER CHERYL MUSGRAVEÂ
We have been observing Vanderburgh County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave for a long time and must admit that she is a hard-working and dedicated public servant.
Cheryl is known to be somewhat headstrong and sometimes becomes a little opinionated.  She has a reputation for doing her homework and enjoys a spirited public debate on the facts. From time to time Commissioner Musgrave takes on the political establishment without wavering. We especially like the way she fought for public access to closed-door meetings which forced greater accountability.  Although she is very conservative she has the ability to embrace financially progressive ideas.
Finally, we are pleased with the way our current Vanderburgh County Commissioners are working in harmony for the betterment of the citizens of Vanderburgh County.

Yesteryear: D-Patrick Has Deep Roots To The Evansville Business CommunityÂ
D-Patrick has deep roots to the Evansville business community.Â
Way back to 1934, when Joseph E. O’Daniel partnered with George Ranes Sr. to form O’Daniel-Ranes Oldsmobile in downtown Evansville, Indiana. With the expansion in mind, the O’Daniel family grew its business within Evansville, and to other cities such as Omaha, NE, Louisville, KY, Bloomington, IN, and Fort Wayne, IN. Â Dealerships in both Fort Wayne and Omaha are still owned and operated by members of the O’Daniel family.
In 1964, Joe O’Daniel’s son, D. Patrick O’Daniel, joined the family business at the Key Ford dealership in downtown Evansville. He began his career as the company’s Chief Accountant and was later promoted to General Manager of the Ford Dealership, before purchasing his own dealership in 1971.
The new company, called D-Patrick, Inc., sold and serviced Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz vehicles on Green River Road on Evansville’s east side. D. Patrick later purchased Key Ford Honda, moving it to Green River Road before adding BMW, Porsche, and Audi to the Green River Road location. D-Patrick eventually purchased O’Daniel-Ranes Oldsmobile Nissan. The Nissan dealership was moved to the Green River Road location. General Motors later discontinued the Oldsmobile brand.
In 1987, D. Patrick’s son, Mike O’Daniel, joined D-Patrick. Two years later, D. Patrick’s son-in-law, Ray Farabaugh, joined D-Patrick. In 1998, after completing the NADA dealer candidate program and filling multiple management roles within the dealership, Mike O’Daniel and Ray Farabaugh purchased D-Patrick, Inc.
D-Patrick has since added the Lincoln franchise to the downtown Ford dealership and moved the Honda dealership to the Division Street Auto Plaza. The Ford dealership in Boonville was also purchased as well as the expansion of the D-Patrick Body Shop and Glass business to be one of the largest in the Evansville Area. In 2014 D-Patrick Nissan moved from its’ Green River Road home of 20 years to a brand new completely green-built facility with over 400 vehicles and 16 state of the art service bays.
D-Patrick, Inc. employs the finest dealership staff, offers the best service and sales experience, maintains the greatest selection of new and used vehicles and offers the best deals in the tri-state area. The D-Patrick service, body and glass shops offer the highest quality repairs available anywhere.
Mike O’Daniel said “We provide our factory-trained master technicians with the latest technology and diagnostic equipment to ensure your vehicle is completed in a timely manner and repaired correctly…the first time”.
