     A Vincennes resident was injured in a Putnam County accident on Wednesday. Our sister station WAMB in Brazil is reporting that at just before before 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon,  Indiana State Police and Putnam County emergency agencies responded to a pickup truck crash on westbound US 40 near County Road 325 West. Police say that the pickup, driven by 21-year-old Tyler L. Peters of Vincennes, IN., was westbound US 40 pulling a trailer loaded with a residential mower. The trailer began to weave causing Peters to lose control and rollover. A blown trailer tire may have been the cause. Peters and his 20-year-old passenger, Kenneth A. Smothers of Terre Haute, IN. were both taken to Terre Haute Regional Hospital. Peters complained of arm pain and contusions. Smothers complained of a leg injury. Both were cited for failure to wear seat belts.
