Sunday, Aug. 17, 10:10 p.m. South Buffalo Street. Drivers: Penny J. Small, 51, West 800 South, Claypool; and Matthew A. Schmidt, 19, South Southwood Drive, Warsaw. Small was traveling northbound on South Buffalo Street approaching Winona Avenue in front of Marsh when Schmidt stopped his vehicle suddenly in front of her due to a pedestrian walking into the roadway, causing Small to rear-end Schmidt’s vehicle. This then caused Schmidt’s vehicle to be pushed into the male pedestrian, identified as Ron Spaulding, 48, of Tippecanoe Drive, Warsaw. According to witnesses at the scene, Spaulding crossed the roadway in a non-cross walk area and continued to enter into the flow of northbound traffic until being struck by Schmidt.

Spaulding had swelling to his left ankle area and lower portion of his calf. He also had abrasions to his back.
