Kosciusko County Sheriff Sergeant, Jeffrey Shaw age 40, was killed Thursday in a squad car/truck collision on Indiana Highway 14 near Silver Lake, Indiana in the Southern part of Kosciusko County.    Sgt. Shaw was on regular patrol duty when the collision occured around 2:47 p.m.   

Investigators state that Shaw's cruiser was struck by a truck hauling scaffolding, driven by Steven Byerly, 53 of Fort Wayne.  After a preliminary investigation, it is believed that Byerly's truck left the roadway, he overcorrected and struck the passenger side of  Shaw's cruiser after crossing the center line.    Both vehicles caught fire after impact.  Byerly was pulled from the truck by a passerby, however, Sgt. Shaw had to be extricated from the squad car by fire and rescue officials.  Both were transported to Kosciusko Community Hospital where Sergeant Shaw was pronounced dead from blunt force trauma.    Byerly was treated for a minor head injury and released.

Sergeant saw leaves behind a wife, Angela, and two young children, Nicholas age 9 and Isabella age 7.
