Crash Kills One

A Kendallville man dies in a crash with a semi early, outside Garrett, on S.R. 8, near the Walmart Distribution Center. Officers arrived to find the victim unconscious and trapped in his car. 24-year-old, Mark Sloan was freed and taken to a local hospital, where he died a short time later. Investigators believe Sloan westbound…when he crossed over the center line and collided…head-on with the eastbound big rig. The car spun around and landed in the grass. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. The investigation continues.
