The Indiana State Police are continuing their investigation of a crash between two passenger vehicles that occurred Wednesday afternoon at the junction of US 31 and State Road 110, claiming the life of one individual.
A preliminary investigation by Indiana State Police indicates that at approximately 3:30 p.m., a 2018 Chevrolet driven by Sharon Roth, 72, of Rochester, crossed US 31 attempting to travel eastbound on State Road 110. Roth turned into the direct path of a 2021 Ford driven by Marija Bilic, 45, of Jenison, Michigan. Also in the Ford was a juvenile passenger.
The force of the collision caused one passenger vehicle to stop on US 31 in the northbound lanes, and one to go to the east side of US 31, off the roadway.
As a result of the crash, Roth sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Marshall County Coroner’s Office. Her family has been notified.
Bilic and the juvenile were transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a contributing factor to the accident.
This investigation is ongoing, and toxicology reports are pending.
Master Trooper Todd Trottier was assisted by other members of the Indiana State Police Peru District, Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Parkview EMS, Argos Fire Department, Rochester Fire Departments, Argos Police Department, Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, Marshall County Coroner’s Office, and Reichert and Knepp.
