(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police say passing in a NO PASSING ZONE is the cause of a motor vehicle collision that might have left both drivers fighting for their lives.

The crash happened just before 6 a.m. Monday on Indiana 2 near 900 West.

 

Police said the investigation shows 42 year old Sean Grubbs of Valparaiso was passing a semi-truck from behind on the two lane highway when he collided head-on with an oncoming car driven by Michael McCullough, 25, of Michigan City.

 

Police said both drivers were airlifted with multiple injuries, including multiple bone fractures.

 

La Porte County Sheriff Ron Heeg said this shows what can happen when drivers make risky decisions.

 

“Here we have somebody who’s impatient, was in a hurry to get to wherever they were going and they go and pass in a no passing zone and they end up hitting an innocent victim,” he said.

 

Police said the badly injured drivers were not able to speak with investigators at the crash site.
