One man is dead after a crash Friday afternoon in Washington Township, police said.
Deputies with the Porter County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched around 12:16 p.m. to a single-vehicle crash at a residence on County Road 325 East, south of County Road 500 North, according to a release from Sgt. Ben McFalls, the department’s public information officer.
An initial investigation showed a 2019 Honda pickup truck was traveling northbound on County Road 325 East when for unknown reasons, the vehicle traveled off of the east side of the roadway, striking building materials, and came to a stop in an open field.
Officers found the male driver and sole occupant of the vehicle unconscious and not responding. He was transported to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced deceased.
The driver’s identity has not been released.
