Three people were hurt in a crash on Union Road, south of U.S. 12.

The collision happened around 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Sep. 23, when sheriff’s investigators say a van driven by a 45-year-old Kendallville woman was traveling west and the driver suffered a medical emergency causing her vehicle to run off the roadway and jump a curb.

The vehicle continued on Union Road and collided into a box truck driven by a 56-year-old man from Kalamazoo.

The driver of the van and her two passengers were initially trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by emergency personnel.

The driver was airlifted to South Bend Memorial Hospital. The two passengers were taken by ambulance to Elkhart General Hospital for care.
