LIGONIER, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say a northeastern Indiana man and his two daughters have died after his car slid off a snow-covered rural road and into a river.
The Noble County Sheriff’s Department says the crash about 10 a.m. Monday killed 50-year-old JJ Reyes of Ligonier, and his daughters, 15-year-old Zulia and 13-year-old Valeria.
It says Reyes lost control on a curve and his car entered a ditch and then the Elkhart River, where it was carried about 180 feet (55 meters) downstream before overturning and submerging.
