The Koscuisko County Sheriff's Office reported that an elderly Warsaw man died from injuries received in a two-vehicle accident on US 30 days earlier. 

According to police reports, Marion Aleman, 93, passed away Sunday, April 28. Aleman sustained internal injuries during a wreck on the morning of April 24, on US 30 and County Road 325 East, near Warsaw. 

Reports stated that Aleman's vehicle failed to yield the right of way to another vehicle on US 30 driven by Richard Vonesh, 79, of Fort Wayne. 

Vonesh claimed he attempted to avoid the crash by changing lanes on US 30, but that Aleman’s vehicle still continued on, stricking his. The damage from the crash is estimated at $25,000.

Both Aleman and passenger, Mary J. Aleman, 84, of Warsaw, who also sustained injuries, were taken by ambulance to the local hospital for treatment. 

Vonesh and passenger, Naomi L. Vonesh, 78, of Fort Wayne, were also taken to a local hospital for further evaluation of minor injuries.
