Passenger critical after Noble crash

A Ligonier man was in critical condition Saturday night after a two-vehicle crash in Noble County, police said.

Quinn S. Groff, 16, of Ligonier, was driving a 1994 Chevrolet pickup truck north on Indiana 9. He had two passengers.

Teddy B. Martin, 21, of Ligoner, was driving a 1997 Chevrolet Corvette north on Indiana 9. He had one passenger.

Groff was turning left onto Noble County Road 850 North at the same time Martin was trying to pass a string of vehicles about 4 p.m., police said.

Both vehicles came to rest in a farm field with the pickup truck driven by Groff on top of the Corvette driven by Martin.

A fire started and all occupants were removed from the vehicles before police arrived, police said.

Teddy T. Martin, 54, of Ligonier, a passenger in the Corvette, suffered multiple injuries and was hospitalized in critical condition, police said.

Teddy B. Martin was also hospitalized because of cuts to his face, arms and head, police said. His condition was unavailable late Saturday.

Neither Groff nor his passengers was injured, police said.
