VALPARAISO, Ind. – A truck driver was killed after strong winds from Sunday afternoon’s storms caused his trailer and cab to overturn.
The Porter County Sheriff’s Office said at around 4:15 p.m. Sunday, officers were sent to Pratt Industries, located in the 3000 block of Anthony Pratt Drive in Valparaiso, for reports of a crash that happened on Pratt Industries’ property.
When officers arrived, they found a tractor trailer on its side with the driver deceased, according to investigators.
