(La Porte County, IN) - A driver struck a NIPSCO pole and fled but left behind evidence that could suggest whoever was behind the wheel might have been impaired.
The collision resulting in at least one power outage happened about 4 a.m. Saturday on 150 East near the La Porte city limits.
According to La Porte County Police, tires marks indicated the vehicle left the road several times before striking the utility pole.
Part of the vehicle’s front bumper along with vomit were discovered at the crash scene, police said.
Police said also discovered was evidence the vehicle before or after the collision had traveled some distance in a farm field.
Investigators examined the images captured by a nearby flock camera but none of the 58 vehicles did not appear to be missing a front bumper, police said.
