[03-08-2022] Johnson County, TX – Four People, Including 4-Year-Old, Injured in Two-Vehicle Crash Near Greenwood

A two-car crash east of Greenwood sent four people to the hospital, including a 4-year-old child, Tuesday night, March 8.

According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, police and firefighters were dispatched 7:14 p.m. to the 3600 block of East Rocklane Road on the report of a serious accident.

A 25-year-old Greensburg woman was driving west on Rocklane Road when she noticed another SUV driving east begin to cross into her lane. Her wheels went off the road as she veered to the right.

She then steered back onto the road, claiming that she must have overcorrected. According to the accident report, she lost control and collided with the other SUV almost head-on in the eastbound lane.

The SUV, which was being driven by a 23-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, veered off the road and flipped. According to the report, the 59-year-old passenger, who was also from Texas, was trapped and had to be extricated.

The 59-year-old passenger was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital in critical condition on Tuesday night.

Sheriff Duane Burgess said the driver of that vehicle had a possible broken leg.

He said the other driver and the child were in stable condition at Methodist.

The crash remains under investigation.
