The vehicle that Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) was traveling in on Aug. 3 crossed the center line of the road “for reasons that are unknown at this time,” causing a crash resulting in four deaths, including Walorski’s, local authorities said, reversing a statement made a day prior about the incident.
Initially on Aug. 3, the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office said it was the other vehicle, driven by Edith Schmucker, that had crossed the center line and crashed head-on into the SUV occupied by Walorski, Emma Thomson, and Zachery Potts. Sheriff’s officials said Potts, 27, was driving.
