Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department today has a completed accident report concerning a breaking news event we told you about Sunday night.
At about 8:27 p.m. Sunday, LifeMed and Silver Lake Fire personnel were dispatched to the 1200 block of West SR 14 near CR 100 West where a pickup truck reportedly crashed into a tree.
No entrapment was reported, but scanner traffic indicated one subject may have suffered a broken collar bone.
Today, we can confirm that the driver was Logan M. Kneller, 17, of West 950 South, Silver Lake. According to the police report, Kneller was westbound on SR 14 during rain and heavy winds. He told police the wind caused him to drive off the north side of the road. He was unable to regain control and struck a fence, a utility pole and a tree.
No one was in the vehicle, a Ford F-350 truck, when the crash happened.
Damages were estimated at up to $25,000.
