Devon J. Slabaugh, 53, New Paris, died at 10:09 p.m. Monday, June 22, from injuries he sustained in an accident on US 6, east of Nappanee and CR 9, Thursday, June 11.

Slabaugh was transported to South Bend Memorial Hospital for facial injuries following the crash, which occurred at 3:52 p.m. that date.

According to the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department, Slabaugh was driving a horse and buggy east on the shoulder of US 6, east of CR 9. An eastbound 2007 Peter Built semitractor/trailer, driven by Eric L. Martz, 58, Spencerville, struck the back of a 2005 Chevrolet truck/trailer driven by Jerry W. Stewart, 51, Syracuse. The impact pushed Stewart’s vehicle into the back of the horse drawn buggy. The buggy was then pushed to the south ditch of US 6.

Martz was cited following the accident for following too closely.

Neither Martz or Stewart were injured.
