(Marshall County, IN) - Justice may finally be served for two local young men whose lives were cut short in a fiery car crash three years ago. The truck driver responsible has been arrested, after being on the loose for over two years.
On August 24 of 2021, 19-year-old Patric McGlynn and 21-year-old John Paul Eckel were traveling east on U.S. 30 on their way to work. McGlynn and Eckel hailed from Connecticut, but were living in La Porte pursuing careers.
Near Plymouth, a semi driven by Inderjit Singh Sidhu of California slammed their car into the back of a tanker truck carrying hazardous liquid. The car and the tanker caught fire, and the two men died in the vehicle.
In 2022 a Marshall County grand jury indicted Sidhu for causing the deaths, but he failed to appear in court. Sindhu was recently located in northwest Indiana. He has been arrested and had a scheduled court appearance on Tuesday. He faces two counts of reckless homicide and two traffic infractions.
