(La Porte County, IN) - A man was killed on a stretch of U.S. 20 in La Porte County.
Just after 8 a.m. Thursday, emergency responders arrived in the 5000 block of East U.S. 20 just outside Rolling Prairie to find Caleb Tekker, 20, of Mishawaka dead at the scene, according to La Porte County Police.
The investigation shows Tekker attempted to pass two slower moving eastbound vehicles in the westbound lanes. When he crossed back over the grassy median to return to the eastbound lanes, police said his vehicle went off the road and struck a large concrete barrier on the grounds of the La Porte County Highway Department.
Police said a toxicology report is still pending to determine whether Tekker was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
