STEUBEN COUNTY, IN (WTVB) – The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a serious two-vehicle crash that occurred early Friday morning on US 20 near West Otter Lake.
The incident involved a semi-tractor trailer and a passenger vehicle driven by 74-year-old Edward F. Nix of Angola, who was found trapped and unconscious and is now in critical condition at Parkview Regional Medical Center.
The driver of the semi-truck, 55-year-old Pedro A. Garcia, sustained minor injuries.
Preliminary investigation suggests Nix’s eastbound vehicle went left of center into the path of Garcia’s westbound truck, despite Garcia’s attempt to avoid the collision.
Alcohol is not suspected as a cause, and the crash remains under investigation.
