Julie Dehoff, 40, dead and 4 people hospitalized after 2-vehicle crash on CR 300 and SR 218 near Poneto, Indiana

A Jeep carrying four people was traveling north on County Road 300 W near Poneto when for unknown reasons, it went through a two-way stop at the intersection of State Road 218 and struck a car. The Jeep driver, 40-year-old Julie Dehoff of Portland, as well as her front seat passenger, were ejected as the Jeep spun into a ditch north of the intersection. Dehoff died at the scene. The front seat passenger was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. A teenager in the backseat was also flown to the hospital with a spinal injury, but she is reportedly in stable condition. A 2-year-old in the Jeep, who was restrained, was transported to a hospital as a precaution. The driver of the car that was struck suffered a head injury and broken bones.  What every family needs to know about wrongful death claims: When someone dies as the result of an accident, family members must make many decisions, and a wrongful death claim often needs to be filed. Often a claim can be filed only by certain family members, and there are strict requirements and deadlines that must be met. It is critically important to speak with a wrongful death attorney to get information on a victim’s rights and options.
