According to a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department accident report, Angela M. Thorn, East CR 1150N, Milford, said she was traveling west on Camp Mack Road from CR 150E and became tired so she let her brother-in-law, Brandon Taylor, 27, of 9632 E.

Camp Mack Road, Milford, and Michael H. Levy, 525 E. Camp Mack Road, Milford. Other property damaged in the accident belongs to Brad C. Robinson, 525 E.

Taylor then fled the scene of the accident, she said.
The owners of the damaged garages were contacted.
As of this morning, Taylor had not been arrested but a request for a warrant for his arrest will be forwarded to the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office.
