The Indiana State Police is investigating a serious crash that occurred early Tuesday afternoon affecting northbound lanes on U.S. 31 at S.R. 110.

Just before 2:30 p.m., Marshall County Dispatch received calls of a crash between two pickup trucks on U.S. 31 near S.R. 110.  Troopers from the Indiana State Police found the trucks blocking the northbound lanes.

A preliminary investigation shows that a 2002 Ford pickup was traveling southbound on U.S. 31 and made a left turn to go east on S.R. 110.  The driver, Matthew Kneller, 54, of Silver Lake, is alleged to have not yielded to northbound traffic and pulled into the path of another pickup truck. Kneller’s Ford was struck broadside on the right by a 2013 Dodge pickup truck that was traveling northbound in the right lane. 

Kneller was transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend with injuries believed to be serious but not life-threatening. 

The driver of the Dodge, Joseph Mazurek, 35, of Booneville, Kentucky, was not injured.

Both lanes of northbound U.S. 31 were open just after 4 p.m.

The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Fulton County Sheriff's Department, Argos Police Department, Lutheran Ground, and Argos EMS.
