The Indiana State Police is investigating a serious crash between a minivan and a motorcycle that occurred at the intersection of Miami Trail and State Road 106 at approximately 3 p.m. Monday.
Preliminary investigation by Sgt. Brandon McBrier indicates that a 2022 Honda minivan driven by Heather Steinhofer, 36, of South Bend, was travelling southbound on Miami Trail and is believed to have disregarded the stop sign at the intersection with State Road 106. Steinhofer allegedly drove into the path of a 2017 Indian motorcycle operated by Roger Lavine, 61, of Plymouth, that was travelling westbound on State Road 106.
Lavine collided with the left side of the Honda and was thrown from the motorcycle. Steinhofer was transported to Memorial Hospital with injuries that are not believed to be serious.

Lavine was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected to be factors in this crash, however, Steinhofer did submit to a chemical test as required by Indiana statute for drivers involved in crashes involving a fatality or serious bodily injury.
The Indiana State Police was assisted by Bremen Police Department, the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, Bremen Fire and EMS, Tri-County Ambulance, and Newcomer Service & 24 Hour Towing.
