The driver then pulled away from the scene and continued traveling north on Lafayette Street.<\/p>\n<p>A witness reported that the pickup truck was unable to maintain a straight line of travel. The vehicle subsequently rear-ended a car near McKinnie Avenue and Lafayette Street. The pickup briefly stopped after this second collision. The driver of the struck vehicle was uninjured, and the damage was minor.<\/p>\n<p>The pickup truck continued northbound, still exhibiting erratic driving. As it approached Woodland Avenue, the truck again veered off the roadway, this time to the west side, and collided with a tree.<\/p>\n<p>Officers arriving at the scene located the adult female driver unresponsive inside the pickup. Officers, the Fort Wayne Fire Department, and TRAA personnel provided immediate medical assistance. The woman did not appear to have sustained crash-related injuries that would account for her unresponsiveness. Paramedics initially listed her condition as serious to critical. After being transported to a local hospital, her condition was determined to be non-life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Officers are working to determine whether a medical episode, drugs, and\/or alcohol contributed to the crashes. Speed does not appear to have been a factor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.<\/p>\n<p>All information is preliminary and subject to change during the course of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Fort Wayne Police Department at 427-1201, Crime Stoppers at 436-7867, or use the free \u201cP3 Tips\u201d app<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a
