One Killed In Elkhart County Fourth Of July Accident

While Independence Day is certainly an event to be celebrated, it is also sadly a time when accidents happen. Many of these accidents involve speeding, alcohol, fatigued drivers, or irresponsible behavior, while others simply happen because there are more cars on the road, more outdoor activities, and more events.

Over the Fourth of July holiday in Jackson Township, Indiana, a man was killed while attempting to unload a golf cart from a pickup truck. Authorities and the Elkhart Truth reported that 32-year-old Michael Corvin of Bristol, Indiana, was driving a golf cart out of the bed of a truck in a driveway along Indiana 15 when he drove into the roadway and was struck by a passing vehicle. The car accident, which took place on Sunday afternoon, July 4, involved an SUV driven by 24-year-old Christa Sharp of Milford, IN. Sharp had moved into the far lane of traffic to pass a slower vehicle at the time of the fatal Indiana car accident.

Corvin was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by emergency responders. No one has been charged or ticketed in relation to the crash. Elkhart County’s Fatal Alcohol Crash Team is investigating the car accident although it is unclear whether alcohol played a role in the crash. The investigation took police about four hours and traffic on Indiana 15 between County Road 50 and U.S. 6 was halted for about two hours.
