Pregnant Woman Dies In Car WreckNAPPANEE - A pregnant woman died in a single-vehicle accident near Nappanee Tuesday evening.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to Ind. 19 in the area of Hepton Road in reference to a single-vehicle crash. When units arrived they located a 2001 Pontiac Montana on its top on the west side of Ind. 19.
The driver, Jessica Rodriguez, 23, Milford, was thrown from the vehicle as it rolled over and she became pinned underneath.
She was pronounced dead at the scene. Rodriguez was expected to give birth in two weeks, according to family members.
Rodriguez's vehicle was traveling southbound on Ind. 19 and was north of Hepton Road.
From evidence at the scene, the KCSD said it appears the vehicle ran off the west side of the roadway and struck a utility pole.
In the vehicle with Rodriguez was her husband, Miguel Rodriguez, 25, and two children, ages 2 and 3.
Miguel was in the front passenger seat, and the two children were in the back seats. All three were transported to Kosciusko Community Hospital where they were treated and released.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department was assisted at the scene by Nappanee Police, Nappanee Fire, Nappanee EMS and the Kosciusko County Corner's Office.
The crash is still under investigation by the Kosciusko County FACT Team.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Dept. detectives arrested a Warsaw man on warrants Tuesday, but not before he fled into his residence.
The detectives had obtained a tip that Kevin Michael Hall, 33, of 1792 Chapman Lake Road, Warsaw, had possible stolen items at his residence.
Plain-clothed detectives arrived and identified themselves to Hall in the driveway, but he immediately fled into the residence to an upstairs location.
Uniformed deputies also arrived and surrounded the house and persuaded Hall to give himself up.
KCSD detectives executed a search warrant on the residence and located various stolen items inside. Hall was transported to the Kosciusko County Jail and booked on fraud, theft, ephedrine restriction and on two counts of failure to appear.
Hall is currently being held on no bond at the Kosciusko County Jail.
Detectives stated additional charges will be filed regarding the stolen items located Tuesday at the residence.
