Allen County, IN (Jan 03, 2026) – A passenger is in life-threatening condition following a two-vehicle rollover accident on Saturday morning on U.S. 27 South. The accident happened near Flatrock Road at approximately 10:30 a.m.
Preliminary findings indicate that a passenger car and an SUV were both traveling northbound on U.S. 27 South when the SUV rear-ended the car. The force of the impact caused the passenger car to overturn.
While both drivers were treated at the scene for their injuries, a passenger in the car sustained critical injuries and was rushed to a local hospital. Investigators believe that both speed and distracted driving were contributing factors in the collision.
The crash remains under investigation by the Allen County Sheriff’s Department.
