Crews worked to get a semi-rig out of a ditch that was close to graves at the Holton Cemetery west of Holton on US 50.

The incident occurred last week with Parminder Singh Tangar, 43 of Indianapolis at the wheel. It took rescue workers several hours to get the mess cleaned up. Tangar was involved in a serious tractor-trailer crash on Indiana Toll Road near mm 118.4 in 2021. Holton Vol. Fire Dept. was on the scene along with the Ripley County Sheriff’s Department, and Indiana State Police.

IGA CEO John Ross, (in black suit facing the local employees at Versailles IGA, came to Versailles Monday morning to present them with a certificate and to tour the store. Kelly Gutzwiller and her brother, Daren Wood, traveled to Las Vegas earlier this year after they were named 2026 IGA USA Centennial Retailer of the Year. The local store continues the tradition started by their parents, Robert and Dotty Wood in 2014, of providing grocery options locally. Their focus has never changed since day one: “When we came into the business, our focus was simple - reinvest in the store, support our employees, and earn the trust of our community,” Gutzwiller noted. “We believe if you take care of people and operate with integrity, the business will follow.”
