The St. Joseph County Police Department in Indiana is increasing their presence on Indiana 2 and Us Highway 20 starting on Monday, February 24th.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to South Bend Tribune<\/a>, two separate crashes involving tractor trailers <\/a>occurred in the area last week, and multiple other crashes were reported in the area in the weeks prior.
