Crash Claims A Life

A woman is killed when her minivan rear-ends a pickup at the intersection of C.R. 400 South and S.R. 5a in LaGrange County. Officials say 74-year-old, Linda Short was headed north on 5, when she failed to see a pickup that was stopped, waiting to turn on to 400 South. The minivan smashed into the pickup. Short was killed in the crash. The driver of the pickup, Michael Gunderson, of Warsaw, was not hurt. Witnesses told officers the minivan was weaving all over the roadway just before the crash, leading investigators to suspect Short may have suffered a medical issue that led to the collision. No alcohol was detected at the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
