Fatal Crash In Wabash County Claims Life Of Laketon Juvenile

WABASH COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) — A juvenile from Laketon lost their life Wednesday evening following a single-vehicle crash in rural Wabash County, according to authorities.

Shortly after 6:00 p.m. on April 29, 2026, officers with the Indiana State Police and the Wabash County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash on County Road 700 West, just south of County Road 850 North.

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.

Investigators say the crash remains under investigation. Early indications suggest that excessive speed and possible alcohol involvement may have been contributing factors.
