Driver Killed in Collisions with Pole and Rock

(Union Mills, IN) - A man was killed in a single vehicle crash in La Porte County over the weekend.  Douglas Adams, 60, of Union Mills was pronounced dead at the scene, according to La Porte County Police.

 

Police said the investigation showed Adams veered off the road to his left and drove through the front yard of a home in the 4400 block of West 800 South before striking a utility pole.  The 2003 Buick LeSabre glanced off the pole and struck a large rock, causing additional damage to the front end of the car.


Police said Adams suffered injuries to his face and left hand.

 

Authorities are waiting for the results of a toxicology test to determine whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the early Saturday morning crash, police said.
