Woman dies in Porter County crash with semi
PORTER COUNTY, Ind. - A 29-year-old Valparaiso woman died after crashing head-on with a semitrailer Monday afternoon in Porter County.
Blythe Leer was the sole occupant of a car that hit the semi near State Road 149 and County Road 875 N, according to the Porter County coroner’s office.
A southbound semitrailer swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle turning left and struck another car in the oncoming lane, the Porter County sheriff’s office said in a statement. The semi also collided with the initial car the driver was trying to avoid.
Leer was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
