(La Porte County, IN) - Three people were injured in a collision between a passenger vehicle and semi-truck on U.S. 20 in Rolling Prairie this week.

 

Patricia Tyl, 43, was westbound when she signaled and slowed down to turn left onto 400 East, according to La Porte County Police.

 

Police said the investigation shows the truck driver traveling behind her unable to veer to his right because of traffic steered to his left to avoid striking the back end of her car.

 

Tyl was turning left when the semi made impact with the driver’s side of her car, police said.

 

Both vehicles came to rest in the eastbound lanes.

 

Tyl sustained a head injury and complained of pain while her 25 year old female passenger and infant in a car restraint seat were also hurt but suffered no visible injuries, police said.
