(La Porte, IN) - A car crash claimed at least one life south of La Porte Thursday morning. It happened just after 9:00 am at the intersection of CR-400 South and CR-150 West. That’s just west of Kingsbury Elementary School.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, a white Chevy Blazer, driven by 58-year-old David Voltz of La Porte, collided with a semi truck. Police say Voltz failed to stop at the intersection. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The tractor-trailer careened off the roadway after impact. Its 62-year-old driver, Lance Hindsley of La Porte, sustained a minor injury and was taken to the hospital.
Toxicology reports are pending, but police do not suspect alcohol to be a contributing factor.
