DEKALB CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – Police with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department think alcohol and speed caused a crash Tuesday night. Officials say that Willie Jones, 20, of Garrett, took off after crashing but was later located.
A report says that Jones was driving north on CR 19 in the 6200 block just before 8 p.m.
Police say his Chevrolet Equinox entered a 90-degree turn while driving too fast to navigate the turn onto CR 62.
This caused the SUV to tip on its side causing damage to the driver’s side.
Following the crash, police say that he fled on foot but was later found just east of the crash scene.
Alcohol and speed are believed to be a factor in the crash.
Currently, there is no word on charges in the crash.
