Allen County, IN (September 22, 2026) – Two cars collided on Schwartz Road northeast of Fort Wayne on Tuesday morning, leaving debris scattered along the road.
The crash happened before 10 a.m. on the morning of September 22 in the 7700 block of Schwartz Road, according to the Allen County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies responded alongside firefighters and tow trucks. Officers could not confirm the extent of anyone’s injuries at the scene.
Both cars sustained heavy front-end damage, and crews worked to clean up the scene throughout the morning.
Schwartz Road was temporarily shut down between Traders Trace Way and Woodfield Place. Traffic was flowing again on both sides of the road by 11 a.m.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
Car Accidents in Indiana
Even when injury details are still coming in, the steps taken in the first hours after a crash matter.
- See a doctor the same day, even if nothing feels seriously wrong right away
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with an attorney
- Preserve evidence: photos of the vehicle damage, the deputy’s report, and any dashcam or nearby surveillance footage
- Do not accept a settlement offer before consulting an attorney, since Indiana’s modified comparative fault rule can affect what you are owed if the driver disputes fault
Personal injury claims in Indiana generally must be filed within two years of the crash (IC 34-11-2-4), which puts the deadline at September 22, 2028.
