(Greensburg, IN) – Two people were injured when a car crashed into a business in the Tree City Travel Plaza in Greensburg Monday morning.
Greensburg Police say the driver, 26-year-old Michael Ely of Seymour, suffered a medical episode that caused him to veer off the west side of U.S. 421/North Michigan Avenue around 6:50 a.m.
The car traveled about 635 feet through a field, and launched off an elevated point in the field and went 50 feet in the air before landing on a private road.
The vehicle traveled an additional 215 feet through the plaza’s parking lot and through the glass doors of a convenience store at 1815 North Michigan Avenue, where it crashed into the checkout register platform.
An employee standing behind the counter suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Ely was taken to Decatur County Memorial Hospital for treatment.
There were no other injuries reported.
The Greensburg Police Department received assistance from Decatur County Communications, the Greensburg Fire Department and Tim’s Wrecker Service.
