One hospitalized following three-vehicle crash early Sunday in Milan

Milan, IN — One person was hospitalized following a three-vehicle crash just after 2 am Sunday on State Road 350 in Milan.

Ripley County Sheriff’s Deputy Lee Davidson says a 2010 Hyundai driven by 25-year-old Briana Hoppes of Osgood was westbound on State Road 350 near the Tom Tepe Auto Center when she crossed the center line and struck a 2022 Kia driven by 18-year-old Jackson Stamper.

Davidson says after colliding with Stamper’s car, Hoppes’ vehicle hit a 2004 Ford F250 hauling a trailer and a rail buggy driven by 50-year-old Charles Billingsley of Sunman.

Hoppes was taken to the hospital with non-life injuries.

Stamper, who is from Arizona, and Billingsley were treated at the scene and released.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the wreck, and toxicology results are pending.

The crash remains under investigation.

The Milan Volunteer Fire Department, Ripley County Emergency Medical Services, Indiana State Police, and Affordable Todd’s Wrecker Service also responded to the scene.
