It appears a medical event led to the death of a Kosciusko County man who crashed his car into a home.

At 7:00 pm Monday the 911 Communications Center received a report of a vehicle that had crashed into a residence. An initial arriving deputy sheriff was able to force entry into the Cadillac Fleetwood, so that medical personnel could tend to the driver, James Gall, 91, of Leesburg.

The preliminary results of the ongoing investigation, conducted by the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office Fatal Team, indicate that Gall was northbound on County Road 400 East prior to the collision. The Cadillac left the west side of the roadway, struck a fence and came to rest against the south side of the unoccupied home.  The home sustained structural damage.

Gall was transported to a Warsaw hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

According to Kosciusko County Coroner Anthony Ciriello, Gall suffered a medical event immediately prior to the collision.
