The preliminary crash investigation by Trooper Matt Moon revealed that Heather Titus, 33, Kokomo, was driving a 2006 Jeep Liberty southbound on U.S. 35 near Cass County Road 1150 South. For an undetermined reason, the Jeep traveled off the eastside of the road, into a ditch, and struck several trees.
