A Chevy Impala driven by Adam Z. Scott, 26, of Rochester, was heading south on U.S. 31 near the 230 Mile marker. Traffic ahead on U.S. 31 south was slowing for a vehicle being recovered by a wrecker south of that location. Scott ran into the rear of a GMC pickup truck driven by Carl G. Jenkins, 71, of South Whitley, which was escorting an oversized trailer. Jenkins and Scott then struck the rear of the oversize trailer and came to rest in the roadway. Jenkins was transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for a possible back injury.
