Single-vehicle crash leaves man dead in Howard County

HOWARD COUNTY, Ind. — A man is dead following a single-vehicle crash in Howard County early Monday afternoon.

Deputies with the Howard County Sheriff’s Office responded around 12:06 p.m. to County Road 300 South and County Road 600 East after receiving reports that a single-vehicle crash occurred in the area.

HCSO said authorities arrived on the scene and found a red GMC Sierra 1500 sitting in a bean field off the side of the roadway. The driver, who was identified as 48-year-old Sean Paul of Kokomo, was pronounced dead on the scene after being found unresponsive inside the vehicle.

Preliminary information indicates the vehicle was heading westbound at a “high rate of speed” when it left the roadway. HCSO said the driver then entered a ditch and overcorrected before sliding across the road and rolling over several times. It finally came to a halt in the bean field.

Witness accounts described the vehicle driving over 100 miles per hour in the moments leading up to the crash, HCSO said. At this time, authorities believe alcohol may have played a role in the crash.

The exact cause of death will be shared at a later time when autopsy and toxicology results are disclosed by the Howard County Coroner’s Office.
