IRELAND — No injuries were reported when a wheel that detached from a trailer being towed by a pickup truck struck an oncoming car Monday morning on the west side of Ireland.
Nathan A. Buechlein, 30, Jasper, was eastbound on State Road 56 in a 2010 Dodge Ram when the 7:55 a.m. accident occurred near Walnut Street, according to the Dubois County Sheriff’s Office.
