(La Porte County, IN) - Two semi-trucks collided last night, killing one of the drivers in La Porte County.

 

The victim, Johnny Rodriquez, 32, of Lakeland, Florida struck the back end of a tractor-trailer at U.S. 30 and Indiana 39 just east of Hanna, according to La Porte County Police.  

 

The rear-ended driver from southern California had stopped for a traffic light not working apparently from a lingering power outage linked to Tuesday's major storm. 

 

Police said Rodriguez failed to slow down prior to the collision, which occurred after 10 p.m.

 

No information was available on the condition of the other driver.
