76 YEAR OLD PLAINFIELD MAN KILLED IN ACCIDENT WITH SALT TRUCK
Melvin A. Trent, a 76-year-old Plainfield resident, was killed Tuesday when his westbound 1998 Ford Taurus crossed the center line and crashed into a Hendricks County Highway Department salt truck near County Road 300 East in Danville, Indiana.
The Highway Department salt truck was driven by John L. Baumunk, 70, of Lizton, and was travelling eastbound. Mr. Trent was pronounced dead at the scene. Baumunk was not reportedly injured. Police do not know why Trent's vehicle left his lane, and the Hendricks County Sheriff's Department was still working to determine the cause of the accident.
