Man dies when car goes off overpass
August 07, 2012


MICHIGAN CITY -- A LaPorte man has died after an accident near here Sunday night.

Indiana State Police say 20-year-old Ryan Smith was driving north on Holmsville Road near Michigan City when, for an unknown reason, his car went off the overpass, flying into a semi that was eastbound on the Toll Road.

The crash occurred about 10 p.m. CST at the 40-mile marker, about a mile west of the Michigan City exit.

Smith's car flipped several times through the median, and he was thrown from his car. The car then continued into the westbound lanes where it hit another semi.

A Medflight helicopter from Memorial Hospital in South Bend flew to the crash site onto the Toll Road, picked up Smith and took him to Memorial, where he died early Monday morning.

All eastbound and westbound lanes were closed for about five hours.

The drivers of both semis struck by Smith's car were not hurt, but industrial equipment being hauled by one of the semis was damaged.

The drivers of both semis....

What? Did you think the rest of the story was unimportant so you didn't add it?
Guess I gotta go to the trib to finish the story.
