A woman and her three children are recovering after a crash between their minivan and a garbage truck in Lake Township Thursday morning. Baroda-Lake Township police say 28-year-old Amanda Nack was eastbound on Shawnee Road near Hills Road when she said she became distracted by the kids in the backseat. Next thing she knew it, her airbags were deploying. She’d crashed into the back of a Michiana Recycling and Disposal truck that was stopped picking up some trash. The woman and her children were taken to Lakeland Hospital. The driver of the disposal truck, 44-year-old Rodney Fick, was not hurt.
