Accident in Marshall County Claims Life of Rochester Man

Indiana State Police troopers are investigating a single-vehicle fatality accident in Marshall County that occurred Monday afternoon.

Troopers responded to the accident on U.S. 31 near 4A Road at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET.  A preliminary investigation found that a white 2013 Dodge was traveling northbound on U.S. 31 when it reportedly ran off the road for an unknown reason and struck a concrete bridge abutment.

Life-saving measures were attempted by troopers, but the 35-year-old driver from Rochester was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the report.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.  Neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected to be factors in this crash. 

Police say an autopsy is scheduled for later this week at the Marshall County Forensic Center.
