(Michigan City, IN) - A former high school football star was one of the drivers seriously hurt in a head on collision near Westville this week.

25 year old Michael McCullough was the starting quarterback for Michigan City High School for three years before graduating. 

He became an innocent victim when struck head on by a driver passing in a no passing zone on Indiana 2.

According to La Porte County Police, McCullough and the other driver, Sean Grubbs, 42, of Valparaiso each sustained multiple injuries that included multiple bone fractures.

They were both airlifted due to their extreme injuries.

Grubbs was passing a semi truck from behind when the collision happened Monday before 6 a.m.

The Wolves made deep runs in the state tournament when McCullough was taking the snaps.
