Overview

  • Porter County prosecutors charged Borko Stankovic with Level 5 felonies for reckless homicide and criminal recklessness after a Oct. 15 crash on U.S. 20 in Portage that killed 54-year-old Jeffrey Eberly.
  • Investigators say Stankovic made a hard left evasive maneuver into oncoming traffic, striking Eberly’s Subaru head-on before the semi jackknifed and hit another vehicle.
  • Portage Police reported he lacked a valid commercial driver’s license and possessed a suspended Illinois CDL belonging to a family member.
  • ICE lodged a detainer at the Porter County Jail, and DHS said his nonimmigrant visa expired in February 2011, identifying him as a citizen of Serbia and Montenegro.
  • ProPublica’s PPP database and state filings show Stankovic was the registered agent for Eclipse Trucking Inc. and ESD Team Inc., which received a combined $36,082 in 2020 loans later forgiven, and Indiana records list Eclipse as inactive as of March 5, 2025.
