Logansport, IN – A late-night crash in Cass County left three people seriously injured after two vehicles collided on US 24/35 near County Road 325 East.
According to the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, the crash happened around 11:40 p.m. Friday when a 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser traveling eastbound attempted to turn north into the crossover at CR 325 East. The car entered the path of a westbound 2024 Chevrolet Silverado, causing a major collision.
Deputies identified the Chrysler’s driver as 19-year-old Delorean Mason of Bainbridge, Indiana. Her 11-year-old passenger was also in the car at the time. Both were trapped inside and had to be extricated by firefighters before being airlifted to Indianapolis hospitals with serious injuries.
The Silverado was driven by 35-year-old Michael Klish of Louisville, Kentucky, who deputies had previously clocked at 85 mph. Klish suffered serious injuries and was transported first to Parkview Logansport, then later to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. After being released, he was booked into the Cass County Detention Facility on multiple charges, including operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury, reckless driving, and possession of marijuana.
Authorities said both vehicles sustained major damage and had to be towed from the scene. The roadway was partially closed for about an hour during the investigation and cleanup.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office, along with Indiana State Police, the Logansport Police Department, multiple fire departments, and Cass County EMS responded to the crash. The investigation into the collision remains ongoing.
