Richard Dowding, 73, of Portage, Indiana, was one of two motorcyclists tragically killed in a multi-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 6 in Porter County Friday afternoon, according to local authorities.
The collision occurred when a 2023 Audi Q7P, traveling eastbound near White Thorne Lane, began slowing down with its left turn signal activated. The Audi was struck from behind by a 2017 Nissan Rogue, which pushed it into the oncoming traffic lane.
