(La Porte County, IN) - It appears a Westville man killed in a crash this week did not make an effort to show down before impact.  That’s according to La Porte County Police still investigating the early Monday accident on Indiana 2 at 500 West.

Police said George Dobos, 62, was westbound when he veered off the right side of the highway and struck a tree.  There were no skid marks present to indicate any attempt to slow down.  Police also revealed components from the engine wound up embedded in the tree.

Dobos was pronounced dead at the scene from crushing type injuries over his entire body.

La Porte County Coroner Lynn Swanson said it might take about two weeks to obtain the results of a standard blood test conducted after any fatality to determine if alcohol or drugs were in his system.
