A truck driver was killed Sunday when his semi-tractor trailer crashed into an empty retail building east of Warsaw.
Gary A. Beck, 54, of Bridgeport, Ohio, was pronounced dead by the Kosciusko County coroner at the scene of the 5:41 p.m. accident at 3294 E. U.S. 30. The building belongs to Quality Farm and Fleet/Tractor Supply Co.
According to witnesses, Beck's truck was traveling west on U.S. 30 when it left the north side of the highway and drove through the ditch and a fence, across a parking lot and into the southeast corner of the building. The truck came to rest partially inside the building.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department was assisted at the scene by the Warsaw and Winona Lake police and fire departments and Multi-Township EMS.
The crash remains under investigation.
