A Terre Haute man was listed in critical condition in Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on Friday with injuries from a two-car accident.
Michael T. Cherepkai, 31, of Terre Haute was traveling north on Indiana 63 at 6:10 p.m. Thursday when he apparently tried to turn his car west onto Durkees Ferry Road at the four-way intersection. He failed to yield right of way and drove into the path of David Handley's vehicle, southbound on Indiana 63, according to a Vigo County Sheriff's Department report.
The report said Cherepkai was wearing a seat belt and air bags deployed. Alcohol was not a factor.
Handley, 33, of Shepardsville said he was unable to avoid the collision, the report said.
Cherepkai suffered head injuries and was flown to Indianapolis.
