Preliminary findings from Master Trooper Jeremy Perez indicate that a 2013 Chevrolet Caprice, driven by Jonathan T. Patton, 23, was traveling southbound when it left the roadway and struck a tree.
A juvenile passenger was pronounced dead at the scene by the Wabash County Coroner’s Office. Patton was airlifted from the scene to a regional hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
