MILFORD — A GoFundMe has been established for the family of a Milford man who passed away in a June 29 vehicle accident near Warsaw.

At 5:35 p.m. Saturday, June 29, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputies and emergency personnel responded to an accident on CR 150W, south of CR 400N.

Joseph “Joey” L. Criswell, 44, Milford, was traveling south on CR 150W in a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe when his vehicle was hit head-on by a 2024 Tesla.

Criswell was pronounced dead at the scene. Six children in Criswell’s vehicle were also injured in the accident, two of whom were flown from the scene.

The GoFundMe will assist Kim Criswell, Joey’s wife, with funeral arrangements and any incurred medical expenses.

“He was a father to 11 children with his wife … a brother, and a friend to many,” states the GoFundMe. “He will be greatly missed. Any help will be appreciated.”

As of July 5, the GoFundMe has raised $3,100 and has a $20,000 goal.
