William Casteel was crossing Highway 27 in his Red Mazda 323 when he was struck by Benzy Hurley in his green Toyota. The door to the red Mazda was severely crushed into the car trapping the passenger.
Decatur County Rescue and volunteers used the jaws of life to remove the car door extricating the passenger. EMS transported 3 to the hospital with what appeared to be non life threatening injuries.
