(La Porte County, IN) - Three people were seriously injured last evening in a collision between a dump truck and passenger van just outside of La Porte.

 

Emergency responders, at roughly 6 p.m., were called to Indiana 2 and County Road 500 West.

 

Per the La Porte County Police, investigation revealed that a southbound 1999 Dodge van driven by Terry Curry, 66, of Kingsford Heights, pulled out in front of a westbound dump truck.

 

Both vehicles overturned, with gravel from the 1990 Ford dump truck spilling out onto the two lane highway.

 

Curry and the other driver, David Henrich, 58, of Rolling Prairie were transported to an area hospital for treatment. Cheryl Curry, 71, who was a passenger in the van, was airlifted to a regional hospital.

 

Police are still waiting for the results of a standard toxicology test to determine if alcohol had anything to do with the collision.

 

La Porte County Emergency Medical Service Administrator Andrew McGuire said all three patients were viewed as being in critical condition at the crash site.

 

“They were all deemed critical was our initial assessment,” he said.
