BRAZIL, Ind. (WISH) — A 15-year-old boy died in an off-road vehicle crash near the Clay-Putnam county line on Sunday evening, Indiana Department of Natural Resources said on Tuesday afternoon.
A news release from the department did not identify the boy.
The crash happened when the vehicle left the road and struck a tree near Clay County Road 800 North and Clay Country Road 500 East/Putnam County Road 900 West. That’s in a rural area with some homes and a rural Reelsville church, about a 15-minute drive southeast of the city of Brazil.
The release said Indiana conservation officers had not yet completed their investigation, but that the teen was wearing a helmet.
The crash was reported to Clay County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 3:51 p.m. Sunday.
Anyone with information can contact Conservation Officer Luke Tincher at 765-276-0196 or ltincher@dnr.in.gov.
