Marshall County, Indiana (July 23, 2026) – A 74-year-old Plymouth woman was hospitalized after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 31 and 11th Road Thursday morning, according to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department.
The crash happened around 9:55 a.m. Deputy Haygood determined that a 2015 Toyota Camry driven by Brenda Rinkenberg, 74, of Plymouth, was pulling out from the east side of the road when it cut off a northbound 2018 GMC Acadia driven by Harris Dunlap, 43, of Franklin, Indiana.
Rinkenberg was transported to the hospital with complaints of pain. No information was immediately available on her condition. Dunlap was not reported injured.
Plymouth Fire & EMS, Argos EMS, and Lyons Wrecker Service also responded. The crash remains under investigation by the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
A single moment at an intersection can turn an ordinary Thursday morning into a hospital stay and a string of unanswered questions.
Car Accidents in Indiana
A deputy’s initial finding at the scene isn’t the final word on fault. Insurance companies and courts often reach different conclusions once all the evidence is reviewed.
- Get a full medical evaluation, since pain reported at the scene can point to injuries that take days to surface.
- Avoid discussing fault with an insurance adjuster before talking to an attorney.
- Preserve the vehicle, the deputy’s crash report, and any dashcam or witness footage.
- Hold off on accepting any settlement until an attorney has reviewed the report.
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule. A driver found more than 50% at fault cannot recover, but a driver found less than 51% responsible still can, and an early report from the scene isn’t always the final determination once witness statements or additional evidence come in. Under Indiana law, injury claims must generally be filed within two years of the crash (IC 34-11-2-4). For this crash, that deadline falls on July 23, 2028.
