Injury Accident In DKC

A Kendallville woman is badly hurt in a DeKalb County crash on County Road 68, near County Road 19. Officials tell reporters 69-year-old Carolyn Swogger was eastbound on 68 when her Jeep went off the roadway in front of a home. The vehicle then traveled through the home’s yard, and crossed over County Road 19. It then entered a wooded area, hitting a tree on the driver’s side, causing it to spin around. Swogger suffered fractures to her hip, ribs and back…and had a laceration to the head. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. The investigation continues by both state and local officials.
