ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. -- The Elkhart County Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to U.S. 33 just east of C.R. 33 for a single vehicle crash around 5:01 a.m., Tuesday.
The report states a 2001 Toyota Echo, driven by a 27-year-old Columbia City, Ind. man, was traveling north on U.S. 33 east of C.R. 33.

The Echo came to a rest on its side partially against a tree.
The driver was then taken to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne for a possible head injury as well as knee and shoulder pain.
The man was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash and no citations were given.
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
