(La Porte County, IN) - Police say alcohol was a factor in a head on collision caused by a wrong way driver in La Porte County over the weekend.

 

Miraculously, perhaps, there were no serious injuries in the early Saturday crash on U.S 30 at 600 West near Hanna.

 

Holly Catalano, 33, of Union Mills had an alleged blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit, according to La Porte County Police.

 

The investigation shows it was nearly 4 a.m. when Catalano was returning home from the Knox area.  Police said there was dense fog in the area when, at some point, her westbound car wound up in the eastbound lane.

 

The other driver, Riley McMahan, 23, of Kouts swerved but was not able to avoid the head on collision.

 

Police said nobody in the crash required medical treatment.  

 

According to police, Catalano told the officer she wound up in the wrong lane after “missing the exit.”
