A LaPorte woman died after her car struck a NIPSCO truck on Johnson Road near County Road 350 North on Monday, Feb. 3, 2014.
Beverly Timm, 63, died at St. Anthony Memorial Hospital in Michigan City shortly after the accident. The truck driver, Joseph Stewart, 54, of LaPorte, was not seriously injured.
Timm’s 2011 Nissan Versa crossed the center line and struck the truck head on, Stewart told LaPorte County sheriff’s deputies.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Police said the snow-covered road was likely a factor.
