(La Porte, IN) - It appears a motorcycle may have been operating erratically at high speeds moments before the driver and his passenger were killed in a collision with a guard rail.

 

That’s according to La Porte Police judging by the findings of their investigation into the Saturday night crash.

 

Dylan Anderson, 31, and Toni Stephens, 32, both of Michigan City perished in the collision on McClung Road east of Indiana 39.

 

Police said the investigation shows Anderson pulled out of Fox Park and soon veered into the opposite lane of the two lane road to pass a westbound vehicle from behind.

 

While returning to the proper lane, the motorcycle clipped the front end of the vehicle Anderson was passing, police said.  A few seconds later is when Anderson left the road and struck a guardrail.

 

Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene while Stephens, who was located at the bottom of a hill against a tree stump, was taken to Northwest Health.

 

She died a short time later.

 

Investigators were still waiting for blood test results to determine if alcohol or drugs were factors in the collision.
