Boone County — One more accident must happen before a rural Lebanon intersection where a 2010 Lebanon High School graduate was fatally injured can be converted into a four-way stop.
Adam C. Dean, 18, died on July 30 at an Indianapolis hospital, after the car in which he was a passenger was struck broadside by a pickup truck at county roads 300 North and 150 West.
First Group Engineering, Inc., Indianapolis, determined the intersection is one accident short of meeting the state’s minimum requirements for a four-way stop intersection.
“However,” Boone County Highway Superintendent told the Board of Commissioners Monday, “they are concerned about the spike in the number of accidents there this year.”
Between 2005 and 2009, First Group found, “typically one or two accidents occurred” at the intersection.
“In 2010, this picture changed,” Dennis W. Cobb, First Group’s president, said in a report to Kouns.
Through Aug. 24, when the report was mailed, there had been five accidents, including Dean’s, at the intersection. People were hurt in two of those crashes, Cobb said.
