Monday night at approximately 9:30 p.m. officers from the Indiana State Police and the Miami County Sheriff’s Department responded to a single vehicle crash on Miami County Road 190 West near Mexico Road., in which a Peru man died.

 

The preliminary crash investigation by Trooper Dustin Rutledge revealed that Patrick “Blake” Sadowsky, 20, of Peru,
