(Lake County, IN) -  A construction zone accident that killed a LaPorte man is still under investigation.  In a story reported last week by HometownNewsNow (link to story here), 63-year-old Martin Knip was killed when a semi-truck plowed into the tanker truck he was driving on a roadway project.   Reports indicate the semi changed lanes and failed to yield to slow-moving construction vehicles on the roadside.

The tragedy happened on US 41 south of Lowell in Lake County, near the state line.  The driver, who allegedly caused the deadly crash, has not been identified.  The Lake County Sheriff’s Office says formal charges have not been filed, however the investigation is still ongoing.
