8 injured in 4 car crash

NEW BUFFALO TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - A total of 8 people were hurt when 4 vehicles were involved in a crash in Berrien County.

The crash happened just after 6 p.m. Sunday night in New Buffalo Township.

Rochelle Medow, 66, of Union Pier, MI, told police that she was driving north on Red Arrow Highway near Lakeshore Drive and slowed to stop for a car that was turning left in front of her.

Michael Gertner, 65, of Michiana, MI, was driving behind Medow, he was not able to stop and hit the rear corner of her vehicle. That caused him to cross the centerline and into southbound traffic.

Gertner was then hit head on by a vehicle driven by Luke Webber, 30, of McCordsville, IN.

That collision caused Webber's vehicle to roll over several times.

Gertner's vehicle was hit one final time by Dana Voyta, 50 also of Union Pier, MI, she was driving northbound on Red Arrow Highway behind Gertner and was not able to avoid hitting his vehicle.

In all 8 people were injured, 2 were treated on the scene, 6 were brought to St. Anthony's Hospital in Michigan City, IN for serious injures.

The crash closed down Red Arrow Highway for several hours.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in this crash.

The crash remains under investigation by the Berrien County Sheriffs Department.
