Two motorcyclists died after a four-vehicle wreck on U.S. 6 in Jackson Township Friday afternoon, police said.
Deputies with the Porter County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched around 1:47 p.m. to the intersection of U.S. 6 and White Thorne Lane for a report of a crash involving two motorcycles and two passenger cars, according to a release from Sgt. Ben McFalls, the department’s public information officer.
Officers who arrived at the scene found both motorcyclists had died. Lifesaving measures were attempted but unsuccessful.
The Porter County Crash Unit was on the scene Friday afternoon and investigating; police requested drivers find an alternate route for a few hours after the crash.
“Please keep the family and friends of the drivers that passed in your thoughts and
prayers during this difficult time,” McFalls aside, also thanking assisting agencies.
Police expect more information to be available Monday.
