Rochester – Yesterday, at approximately 12:24 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department responded to a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 31 at Olson Road, in which two people were injured.
The preliminary crash investigation by Indiana State Police Trooper Todd Trottier revealed that Brian Mays, 51, Union, MI, was driving a 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle northbound on U.S. 31 near Olson Road. Trina Heller, 58, Rochester, IN, was driving a 2007 Nissan Morano westbound on Olson Road. Heller allegedly failed to yield, at a stop sign, for cross traffic, on U.S. 31. The Nissan pulled into the path of the motorcycle. The motorcycle hit the Nissan in the driver’s side door ejecting Brian Mays and his passenger, Debbie Mays, 48, Union, MI, from the Harley Davidson.
Samaritan Medical Helicopter flew Brian Mays, from the crash scene to a Ft. Wayne hospital. He sustained non-life threatening injuries. Debbie Mays was transported, by ambulance, to a Ft. Wayne hospital. She also sustained non-life threatening injuries. Heller was not injured.
This is an ongoing investigation, but at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash.
Heller was issued a citation for failure to yield to cross traffic.
