It was a close call on the Toll Road for the second day in a row.
A car stalled on the shoulder was side-swiped by a semi in St. Joseph County Thursday night. It happened just before 11:15 p.m. in the eastbound lanes at mile marker 63.5, near the South Bend west exit.
The car driver had experienced mechanical failure and pulled over onto the shoulder. That's when a semi-truck hit her car.
Luckily, the driver had moved into the passenger seat of the car and wasn't injured. The truck driver was also okay.
Just the day before though, another stalled car was hit while sitting on the shoulder. This time it happened in the eastbound lanes, near the Elkhart exit.
A semi veered off the road and right into the back of the car. Again, no one was seriously hurt.
These two accidents bring a reminder to drivers to move into the left-hand lane, if possible, when passing a vehicle pulled over to the side of the road. If you can't move over, at least slow down.
