Marshall County Police are continuing to investigate a crash involving a stolen vehicle.
On Friday, September 13th, just before midnight Marshall County Police, Walkerton Police and EMS and Polk Township Fire were dispatched to the 5,000 block of Plymouth-LaPorte Trail for a single vehicle accident involving a white 2006 Ford Five Hundred.
Arriving on the scene officers found a single female driver identified as Deanna Babcock of North Liberty. She suffered facial injuries and injuries to her back and hip in a crash where she hit a utility pole and a split rail fence.
Babcock was transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for her injuries.
Officer Wozniak believes that alcohol was a factor in the crash.
During the police investigation, it was found that the vehicle was reported stolen from the Town of Walkerton. The investigation of this incident is still ongoing.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
