Around 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 2, LaSalle police responded to a crash at the intersection of Donato Drive and Huron Church Line Road in the town.
Police say the investigation revealed a Honda Accord turned onto Huron Church Line Road from Donato Drive and a short time later was struck, head on, by a Jeep that was travelling southbound in the northbound lane of traffic.
Both vehicles sustained significant damage and the driver of the Honda sustained what appeared to be a non-life threatening injury.
