The Marshall County Sheriff's Department is reporting three separate crashes that occurred over the weekend of June 6 and 7, 2026, resulting in multiple injuries and responses from emergency agencies across the county.

The first crash occurred Saturday afternoon, June 6, at 4:44 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 31 and State Road 110. A 2024 Kia, driven by 19-year-old Kamille Feliciano of Chicago, was traveling north on U.S. 31 when a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, operated by 74-year-old Bruce Ezra of Bringhurst, IN, failed to yield to northbound traffic from its stopped position on State Road 110.

The collision prompted a response from Argos Police, Fire, and EMS, as well as the Rochester Police Department, Fulton County Sheriff's Department, and Lyons Wrecker Service. Feliciano was transported to Plymouth Hospital for treatment of pain complaints.

The following morning, Sunday, June 7, at approximately 11:20 a.m., deputies responded to a crash at the intersection of 1st Road and Pine Road, west of LaPaz. A 2016 Jeep Cherokee driven by Natashia Burkett, 33, of Rochester, was traveling south on Pine Road when she drove into the path of a 2015 GMC Sierra traveling east on 1st Road, driven by Cooper Gean, 23, of Lakeville. The resulting right-angle collision caused Gean's vehicle to roll over into an adjacent field.

Both drivers, as well as a passenger in Gean's vehicle — identified as Rebecka Bower, 23, of Plymouth — were transported to Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. Polk Fire, Walkerton EMS, LaPaz Fire, and Gean's Towing assisted at the scene.

Later that same day, at approximately 9:34 p.m., Marshall County Central Dispatch received a 911 call reporting a motorcycle and deer collision in the 4000 block of Olive Road. The rider, Nathan White, 47, of North Judson, suffered numerous injuries in the crash and was airlifted from the scene by Lutheran Air. Marshall County Police Department, along with LaPaz Fire and EMS, responded to the scene.

The Marshall County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate all three incidents.
