MILFORD - High water appears to have played a factor in the death of a Warsaw woman in a two-car collision Sunday night near Milford.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department responded to a call of a two-car collision on Ind. 15N, between CRs 900 and 1000N around 9:36 p.m. Sunday night.When police arrived they found a bronze Chrysler, driven by Margaret Seitner, 63, of Warsaw, and a green Honda CRV, driven by Roll Neeley, 62, Warsaw.
According to police reports, Seitner was headed north on Ind. 15 when she came upon standing water, marked with high water signs.
