One driver was taken to a hospital after a two-vehicle crash at County Road 1350 North and County Road 200 West, west of Milford in Kosciusko County, at about 11:02 a.m. on Friday, October 16, 2026, according to InkFreeNews[1].

InkFreeNews reported that a Toyota passenger car and a Ford F-150 collided, and both vehicles came to rest off the south side of County Road 1350 North. The Toyota driver was taken by Lutheran EMS to a local hospital. The F-150 driver was not hurt.

The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office, Milford Police, Indiana State Police, and the Milford Fire Department responded. No names or cause have been released. The investigation is ongoing, and the cause remains undetermined.

What accident victims should do next

Get a medical evaluation after an intersection crash, and follow up if pain develops in the days afterward. Ask the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office for the crash report number and instructions for requesting the report. You can also review this guide to obtaining an Indiana crash report.

If you can do so safely, take photos of the vehicles and the intersection, including stop signs and possible sight-line problems. Keep medical records, bills, and notes about missed work. The firm's guide to evidence in an Indiana car accident claim explains why these records can matter.

Be careful about giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before you understand your options. Insurers may aggressively defend fault and injury issues, especially when the cause is unresolved. This guide explains what to consider when an insurance adjuster requests a recorded statement or medical release.

Why location matters in Indiana injury claims

This crash happened at County Road 1350 North and County Road 200 West near Milford, in Kosciusko County. A civil case would ordinarily be filed in Kosciusko County or where a defendant lives.

The general deadline to file an injury claim in Indiana is two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Under Indiana's modified comparative fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, an injured person's recovery is reduced by that person's share of fault and barred if the share is more than 50 percent. A police report is not a determination of civil liability, and the cause of this crash remains undetermined.

Indiana's minimum liability limits under Ind. Code 9-25-4-5 are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage under Ind. Code 27-7-5-2 can matter, depending on the policy and available liability coverage.

Working with Delventhal Law

Common questions

How fees work, deadlines that matter, and what to expect when you call.

  1. How much does it cost to hire Delventhal Law Office?

    There is no up-front cost. Personal-injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. Call (260) 484-6655 to talk through your situation.

  2. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Indiana?

    Indiana generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (Indiana Code § 34-11-2-4). Shorter deadlines can apply when a government entity is involved or in some workers' compensation matters. The sooner you call, the more options you have.

  3. What if I'm partly at fault for the accident?

    Indiana follows a modified comparative-fault rule (Indiana Code § 34-51-2-6). You can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Even if you think you share blame, call us — the insurance company's first assignment of fault is often wrong.

  4. Do I have to come into the office to meet with you?

    No. We meet clients by phone, video call, at their home, or at the hospital. The Delventhal Law Office is in downtown Fort Wayne, but most of our clients live across Indiana and we come to you when that's easier.

  5. How quickly should I call after an accident?

    As soon as you can. Evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance video is overwritten, witnesses move on. Insurance adjusters also start calling within days. Talking to us before you give a recorded statement protects your claim.

  6. What kinds of cases does Delventhal Law handle?

    We represent injured plaintiffs in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents; workers' compensation and on-the-job injuries; wrongful death; slip-and-fall and premises liability; birth injuries; burn injuries; and other personal-injury claims across Indiana.
