One killed, one injured in Pleasant Township crash

One male died and another was injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon in Pleasant Township, police said.

Deputies with the Porter County Sheriff’s Department were called around 4:51 p.m. May 21 to the intersection of Ind. 8 and County Road 450 East, according to a release from Sgt. Ben McFalls, the department’s public information officer.

An initial investigation showed a Ford minivan was eastbound on Ind. 8 and a Jeep SUV was westbound on Ind. 8 when the minivan entered the westbound lane and collided with the Jeep, police said.

Both male drivers had to be transported to a local hospital for treatment and the driver of the Jeep SUV died.

The Porter County Crash Unit is investigating.

“Please keep the family and friends of the driver that passed in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” McFalls said, also thanking the agencies that assisted at the scene.

Police did not have additional information Thursday afternoon.
