OWI Suspect in Crash with Classic Car

(Kingsford Heights, IN) - Nobody was injured but a vintage car was damaged in a motor vehicle accident related to alcohol in Kingsford Heights.

 

James Davis, 75, was arrested for Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated following a late-night crash Saturday at Wayland Road and Larchmere Road. The investigation shows Davis sideswiped an oncoming 2017 Jeep Commander with his red 1965 Chevy Corvair, per La Porte County Police. Davis told investigators he was returning home from the American Legion Post 434 in Kingsford Heights where he had reportedly watched the Kentucky Derby.

 

The other driver, Jordyn Soffa, 24, told police he had slowed down almost to a complete stop to make a right-hand turn just prior to the collision.

 

Davis, who lives just south of La Porte, had an alleged blood alcohol level of .11 percent.
