Stranded Motorist Injured on I-69

0

Yesterday morning the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of I-69 near the 1.5-mile marker to a report of a stalled vehicle that had been struck by another vehicle. The driver of each vehicle was transported to area hospitals for potentially serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

During the investigation, deputies discovered that a maroon Cadillac Escalade was parked southbound on the emergency shoulder of I-69 with a flat tire. The driver of the Escalade was awaiting the arrival of roadside assistance when his vehicle was struck in the rear by a black Ford Expedition that was traveling southbound. The impact caused both vehicles to crash into the guardrail, with the Expedition coming to rest in the middle of the southbound lanes of the interstate. As a result, the southbound lanes of I-69 were closed for about an hour.

Pursuant to Indiana state law regarding motor vehicle collisions involving serious bodily injury or death, both of the involved drivers were requested to consent to toxicology screening to be completed by the Indiana Department of Toxicology. Both drivers submitted to the toxicology screening at the hospital. The investigation will remain open pending the official toxicology results. It does not appear at this time that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

 

The above images were captured by deputies investigating the crash.

 

THIS WEEKS HAPPENINGS IN PICTURES

Yesterday Ben Trockman officially filed to run for the Evansville City Council in the First Ward as a Democrat.  If Ben wins the 1st Ward seat he will become the first Democrat to win the First Ward seat in 52 years.  He would also become the first quadriplegic to ever win a seat on the Evansville City Council in the history of Evansville. On a terribly cold afternoon, with various school closings, Mr. Trockman managed to attract a large, diverse and enthusiastic crowd to witness his filing.  We are told that Mr. Trockman chose yesterday to file for public office because it was FDR’s birthday.  FDR is Ben’s political hero because he was the only U. S. President to serve while in a wheelchair because of a physical impairment.

Ben’s campaign theme is “Forward” with an emphasis on that “E” is for everyone?  Mr. Trockman campaign manager is none other than the popular Vanderburgh County Commissioner Ben Shoulders.

Yesterday a well known 19-year-old University Of Evansville student-athlete was sworn in as a member of the Greenway Advisory Committee.  As far as we know that Aulden Nance is the youngest member to be appointed to a county board during the last 50 plus years. Tom Shetler, Jr. was around 16 when he was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Board. We congratulate Aulden Nance on this prestigious political appointment made by members of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners.  We know he will do an outstanding job in this position.

Evansville Daycare Closed; Pending Investigation

0

JANUARY 31ST, 2019 MEGAN DIVENTI EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

A Tri-State daycare is closed and Evansville police say Fireside Chapel Daycare is now under investigation. This all comes after a reported incident inside the daycare.

A notification was sent to parents Thursday from someone who works at the daycare.

Photos recently started circulating on social media showing children with unexplained injuries. All of them attended Fireside Chapel Daycare. Now Evansville Police are involved and say they are investigating this as a crime.

Nicole Wochaski’s daughter is almost three and has been attending Fireside Chapel Daycare since last January.

She says at first she was impressed with the facility, but all that soon changed.

“Then through the summer she was having really really bad diaper rashes and she never has them at home,” says Nicole Wochaski, former Fireside Chapel parent. “She never had them on the weekends. She never had them when she was in anyone else’s care. It was always when she was at daycare.”

She gave the staff diaper cream, wipes, and diapers to help the issue, but says it got worst.

“It got to the point where it was so bad at one time her whole diaper area was blistered as if her skin was peeling and I was furious,” says Wochaski.

Her daughter also mentioned how she was not allowed to use the bathroom, had been spanked, and even says she woke up alone in a classroom.

Wochaski says she mentioned her concerns to Fireside staff at least a dozen times, but never got anywhere.

So Thursday, she collected her daughter’s things from the daycare.

“But I did go to gather her belongings and when I went into the room that houses all of the cubbies it was about 90 percent empty,” says Wochaski.

Another mom says she cried tears of joy after reading about the daycare closing.

Leslie Young says she dropped her 3-month-old daughter off at Fireside in August and was able to keep an eye on her through an app.

“She was only getting her diaper changed like three times a day and she was there 7:45 a.m to about 4:45 p.m and they’re just feeding her constantly. Way overfeeding her and under-diapering her,” says Leslie Young, former Fireside Chapel parent.

Then the third week Young says she had more problems.

“She was face down into her crib and she had obviously been like that for a while because her head, like her forehead and her nose, both had red marks on them where they had been smashed down against the mattress,” says Young.

Days later, Young found what appeared to be a bite mark on her daughter’s leg. She also says she tried to talk to the staff about her concerns but got nowhere, so she removed her daughter from the facility.

44News has made multiple attempts to reach someone at Fireside Chapel, but have not heard back. State inspection records show the facility did not have any critical violations, but some staff members were hired without ever getting a background check.
