Victim of Fatal Crash Identified

(La Porte County, IN) - The name of the driver killed in a single-vehicle crash in La Porte County early on Monday has been released.

 

Michael Williams, 42, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to La Porte County Coroner Lynn Swanson, who also noted that he was a La Porte County resident.

 

The investigation reportedly showed that Williams was headed eastbound on 1000 North in a 2012 Range Rover when the vehicle veered right into a ditch and continued before crashing into several trees and overturning in Springfield Township.

 

Williams was the only occupant of the vehicle.

 

Authorities noted that a toxicology test of a blood sample taken from the victim, which is standard procedure in any fatal motor vehicle crash, will determine if alcohol or drugs were involved in the accident. Swanson said the test results have not come back yet.
