FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - The Fort Wayne Police Department is investigating a crash on the city's northeast side. On Tuesday at about 4:30 p.m., in the 4300 block of East State Boulevard near North Coliseum Boulevard, a person was flagging down an off-duty officer who was driving in the area and ran into the street.
