Marshall County Sheriff’s Department Responds to Accident on U.S. 6
Officers from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department responded to a semi and passenger car accident on Tuesday night at the intersection of U.S. 6 and Thorn Road.
The investigation into the incident found that the vehicle driven by Brucie Campbell of Walkerton was turning onto U.S. 6 when he partially crossed the center line. This caused him to steer in an attempt to avoid a collision with a semi driven by Donald West of Ohio. The left front of Campbell’s car struck the left side of West’s semi which caused West to react and travel off the south side of U.S. 6 into an electric pole and rolled onto its side.
Campbell was transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for non-life threatening injuries. West was not injured.
The accident remains under investigation.

NJ-SP Releases Snow Make-Up Day Information
Motorists Urged to Be Safe On Potentially Flooded Roads
Roadways will likely be wet in spots as snow continues to melt and rain starts to fall. Motorists are urged to be vigilant, at night or early in the morning, as it can be difficult to see water and its depth across the roadway. Slow down when it’s raining, and never drive through flowing water or around barricades. Driving through any sort of water creates less tire contact with the road surface and can cause your vehicle to hydroplane, which in turn increases your likelihood of crashing. It also affects your brakes. They are less effective until they dry out.
