A Syracuse man complained of pain throughout his entire body after a one-vehicle accident Monday afternoon in Elkhart County.
According to an Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office crash news release, at about 3:05 p.m. Monday, a 2013 Lincoln MKX was traveling east on CR 46 near the intersection of CR 15. The driver, Mark Simmons, 36, Syracuse, stated to the investigating officer that he saw a slow-moving vehicle in front of him and began to pass the vehicle.

Simmons did not have enough time to slow down or move back into the lane without striking another vehicle and swerved to avoid the crash, the release states. He drove off the road to the north, driving several hundred feet into a ditch before flipping over, and then rolling back down right side up.
