Charges have been filed against a man in LaPorte County who allegedly caused a car crash that killed two people.

40-year-old Tron Gorbonosenko was hospitalized following the Friday, October 6th crash on U.S. 20 at Bootjack Road near New Prairie High School. His Ford Mustang drove head-on with a Honda Odyssey, killing Don and Angie Kaczmarek in the Honda.

Gorbonosenko was flown by MedFlight to Memorial Hospital for treatment. He was released last week.
