Destiny Gritzmaker DUI Crash | Fort Wayne News

A 32-year-old woman, Destiny Gritzmaker, crashed her black car into a semi-truck in St. Joseph County at 2:05 AM, driving erratically before the collision. She refused medical help despite injuries, prompting police to administer an impairment test — which she passed — before booking her on a DUI charge. The truck driver escaped unharmed.

Authorities continue investigating the crash and her alleged intoxication. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Remembering the Korean War Armistice | Fort Wayne News

Seventy-three years after the Korean War ended in a fragile armistice, veterans and families gathered at the Veterans National Memorial Shrine for a solemn ceremony honoring those who served—and those lost. With prayers, speeches, and the reading of names of fallen veterans, the event reminded all present of the 54,000 American lives sacrificed and the enduring legacy of a conflict that still shapes the Korean peninsula today. Though no longer fighting, the two Koreas remain technically at war, making this remembrance not just a tribute—but a vital bridge between past sacrifice and present peace.
