According to an Indiana State Police report, at approximately 8 p.m., Sunday a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am driven by 27-year-old Dustyn Boyd of Merrillville was on the Crown Point ramp to I-65 southbound when the car suddenly went off the roadway.

The Grand Am went off the road to the right, down into a ditch while rotating counter-clockwise, and struck a large tree with the passenger side. Evidence at the scene indicates driver inattention and unsafe speed.
