In a tragic accident that happened on US 30 in LaPorte County, a 36-year-old woman, Angela J. Oehmen, and her 14-year-old son, Joseph, lost their lives.
The sheriff’s deputies were called to the 6300 west block of U.S. 30 around 7:30 am after a passenger vehicle and a commercial motor vehicle collided.
The initial investigation reveals that a white 2019 Mack semi-tractor was pulling a white 2015 Hyundai trailer.
The semi had just exited the Plaza 30 Truck Stop and was beginning to travel eastbound on US 30. While doing so, the trailer separated from the semi-tractor in the eastbound driving lane, just east of the truck stop entrance and exit.
A black 2022 Kia driven by Angela J. Oehmen was traveling eastbound on US-30 when it collided with the rear of the trailer.
Angela and her son Joseph were pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the semi was not injured.
The incident remains under investigation, and the toxicology results are pending.
