TERRE HAUTE Terre Haute police have identified two men involved in a roll-over crash Monday afternoon in Terre Haute.

Chancy Krantz, 34, of Terre Haute and Cody Tryon, 18, were taken to area hospitals after Tryon crashed a stolen, Suzuki motorcycle into the side of Krantz’s 1988 Ford Bronco causing it to roll at least two times, police said.

Krantz was treated for minor injuries at Terre Haute Regional Hospital and released Monday. Tryon was taken to Union Hospital following the crash, but his condition was unknown by press time Tuesday.

Krantz was cited for driving while suspended.

An investigation is ongoing.

Tryon was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed on Sycamore Street and failed to stop at a stop sign as Krantz proceeded northbound through the intersection on 17th Street, city police said. Tryon attempted to stop but collided with Krantz at 3:16 p.m. Tryon was propelled through the rear side window and out the rear back window of the SUV as it and the motorcycle rolled, police added.

Tryon was not wearing a helmet. Krantz was wearing a seat belt. He was not extracted or thrown from his SUV.
