SIDNEY — A New Bremen man was pulled from a vehicle that flipped over a guardrail and landed on its top in the water of Turtle Creek on state Route 29 on Monday morning.
Ronald Kremer, 69, of New Bremen, was transferred by Sidney Medics to Wilson Health after a report his SUV crashed around 10:21 a.m.
Kremer was traveling northwest on state Route 29 when he drifted across the center line onto the southbound lane and drove off the west side of the roadway, struck a guardrail end, which caused the vehicle to roll over onto its top and roll over and down an embankment containing about two-feet of running water, before coming to a rest on its top in the creek.
Anna Rescue and Fire Department, Van Buren Township Fire Department, Sidney Medics and Kettlersville Fire Department and Shelby County Sheriff Deputies responded to state Route 29 and Turtle Creek Road to the crash.
A Shelby County Sheriff’s Office deputy reportedly got into the creek and held the driver’s head above water until help arrived. The crash remains under investigation.
