The La Porte County Sheriff's Office is reporting a fatal accident that has claimed the life of a Union Mills man.

Early Saturday at 12:33 a.m., officers responded to the 4400 West block of County Road 800 South for a report of a single-vehicle accident.

The initial investigation on scene revealed a 2001 Buick was traveling west on County Road 800 South. The vehicle traveled left of center, crossed the eastbound lane and exited the south side of the roadway. The vehicle drove across the lawn of a residential building and crashed into a utility pole. The collision changed the vehicle's trajectory, causing it to hit a large rock and eventually come to a stop.

The driver, 60-year-old Douglas L. Adams of Union Mills, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The results of the toxicology tests are still pending.
