CROWN POINT, Ind. (CBS) -- A 48-year-old man died when his car went off Interstate 65 late Friday and slammed into a light pole near Crown Point, Indiana.
Just after 10 p.m., John Gondell tried to take the southbound exit to U.S. Route 231 when his Toyota Camry went straight through a curve, over a grassy area and into the large pole, according to Indiana State Police and the Lake County coroner's office.
