(La Porte County, IN) - Two people were injured in a motor vehicle crash caused by a suspected drunk driver outside La Porte last night around 9:30 p.m. at U.S. 20 and Indiana 39.

 

La Porte County Police said 46-year old Rebekkah Groshans was eastbound approaching a red light in a 2022 Honda Pilot, where she failed to stop and struck the back end of a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan waiting for the light to turn. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage.

 

Police said the other driver, 72-year-old Steven Buchanan, was taken by ambulance to a South Bend hospital, complaining of pain to his neck.

 

Groshans of Osceola complained of chest pain and was taken to the hospital in La Porte, before being later booked into the La Porte County Jail for having an alleged blood alcohol level close to three times the .08 percent legal limit.
