Crash Linked to Alcohol

(La Porte County, IN) - Police say an impaired driver caused a rear-end collision at a busy La Porte County intersection, as Violet Terry, 67, allegedly had a blood alcohol level considerably higher than the legal limit and also may have been under the influence of marijuana and cocaine found in her vehicle.

 

Just before 1 p.m. on Friday, officers reportedly responded to Indiana 39 and U.S. 20 where Terry rear-ended a motor vehicle. The investigation showed that the Ohio woman had just exited from the Indiana Toll Road and was headed northbound when the collision soon happened. There, a small amount of cocaine and marijuana were located in a bag on the back seat, along with a cooler containing several unopened containers of beer in the trunk.

 

The vehicle, operated by Terry, sustained heavy front-end damage. No injuries were reported by anyone involved in the collision.
