INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says it is investigating a Sunday afternoon crash in Carroll County that left one woman seriously injured.
According to the department, Indiana Conservation Officers responded to an accident report near County Road 900 North and Meridian Road.
When they arrived, they discovered that Randall Kesling, 67, from Delphi, was driving an off-road vehicle when he suddenly lost control, causing it to roll over.
He was thrown out of the vehicle and sustained minor injuries.
However, the passenger, 62-year-old Teresa Kesling, also from Delphi, had to be extracted by first responders.
She was flown to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis with “severe head injuries” and cuts.
Neither Teresa or Randall Kesling had helmets on, and only Teresa Kesling was wearing her seatbelt.
Officers are using the accident to remind people that they should always wear protective gear — like helmets and seatbelts — when driving or riding in an off-road vehicle.
The department also wants people to review state law and safe operating procedures to avoid accidents like these.
