I started working midnight's part-time at the cookie factory at U.S. 20 and Ohio St. last August. I always park in the lot across the street on Ohio St. they have a Yield to pedestrian sign posted both ways on Ohio St. but motorists usually disobey them, including Michigan City police cruisers.

QUOTE Pedestrian killed by semi By Deborah Sederberg Staff writer Published: Saturday, June 23, 2012 5:00 PM CDT MICHIGAN CITY — Local police and La Porte County Coroner John Sullivan are working to determine the identity of a pedestrian who was killed when he was struck by a semi tractor-trailer at 8:11 a.m. Friday at U.S. 20 and Ohio Street in Michigan City. According to a release from Michigan City Police Department, Lt. Jeff Loniewski, commander of the traffic division, a preliminary investigation revealed that a pedestrian described as “a 60-to-70-year-old white male stepped off the southeast curb and into the path” of a semi tractor. “The pedestrian died upon impact from what appeared to be massive internal injuries to his lower trunk and extremities,” Loniewski said. The driver of the truck, 42-year-old Larry Mitchell Waters, of Snow Hill, Maryland, was not injured. Waters, who was traveling northbound on Ohio Street approaching U.S. 20, was driving a black 2007 Kenworth semi tractor-trailer unit owned by Worldwide Shippers of La Porte. The eastbound lanes of U.S. 20 were closed for about two hours to allow investigators from the Michigan City Police Department’s Traffic Division and troopers from the Indiana State Police Motor Carrier Division to collect evidence. Indiana Department of Transportation employees assisted with directing traffic. “At this point the investigation remains ongoing as the Michigan City Police Department and La Porte County Coroner’s Office attempt to identify the victim,” Loniewski said. |
