An 85-year-old man was taken to the hospital Saturday evening following a head-on collision on U.S. 6, according to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department.
The crash occurred at approximately 8:33 p.m. on March 21, 2026, near the intersection of U.S. 6 and Linden Road.
According to a report filed by Deputy Robert Williams, investigators determined that a 2007 Ford Focus, driven by 85-year-old David Patterson of Angola, was traveling in the area when it crossed over the center line. Patterson's vehicle then collided head-on with a 2010 Jeep Wrangler, driven by 62-year-old Judith Bono of LaPorte.
Following the impact, Patterson was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The police report did not indicate whether Bono sustained any injuries in the crash.
The Marshall County Sheriff's Department was assisted at the scene by the Bremen Police Department.
