Vehicle on Side After Collision

(La Porte, IN) - La Porte Police have completed their investigation into a Wednesday morning crash that left a vehicle on its side.

 

At about 6 a.m., police said Julianna Poole, 20, of Michigan City, pulled out of the parking lot at Howmet into the path of an oncoming vehicle on Boyd Boulevard near Indiana 2. The other vehicle, operated by 36-year-old Barbara Ritter of La Porte, struck the driver’s side of Poole's car causing it to roll onto its side just off the pavement.

 

Following the incident, Ritter complained of pain, and two children in her vehicle, ages 14 and 13, suffered possible injuries.

 

Both the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta operated by Poole and the 2005 Chevy Trailblazer driven by Ritter reportedly had to be towed from the crash site.

 

There was an estimated $10,000 to $25,000 in damage to both vehicles, police said.
