Henry County, INDIANA -A Democratic candidate for Henry County Council was involved in a car accident last night, and his Republican opponent was one of the first to spot the crash.
Steve Duggar (R) tells WXIN-TV in Indianapolis he was picking up his nieces from their home in Caddus, Indiana last night when he spotted a damaged car stopped along the road. Duggar says he was “the first one there to look in on the person, and it was my opponent, Steve Holmes.”
Duggar told WXIN, “You know, I recognized him, but it was such a... such a surprise. You know, of all people to see, it was my opponent.”
Duggar says one of his nieces called her mother, an EMT, who drove to the scene and stayed with Holmes (D) until emergency crews arrived. Duggar says Mr. Holmes was not seriously injured, but WXIN is reporting that a victim from another car involved was air-lifted to an Indianapolis hospital.
Witnesses say Holmes may have attempted to pass someone and hit an oncoming car head on.
The crash is still under investigation.
