(LaPorte County, IN) - Police are investigating a single-vehicle crash that claimed a life Saturday morning.

At about 6:30 am, LaPorte County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a crash on US 35 near County Road 400 North. That's halfway between US 20 and downtown LaPorte. Officers found the wreckage of a red 2002 Ford Focus at the scene with the driver dead inside.
