Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a fatal off-road vehicle accident Sunday night in La Porte County.
Officers responded to the 9400 block of N. 500 E. in La Porte County around 9 p.m. CT for an ORV accident with bodily injury. According to the report, investigating officers learned a 13-year-old juvenile who was reportedly operating the side-by-side ORV lost control while attempting a turn at a high rate of speed. Officers say the ORV rolled over, ejecting the occupants.
A 14-year-old passenger was later pronounced deceased at a local hospital. A 15-year-old passenger was airlifted to a Chicago trauma center with serious injuries and three juveniles were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Indiana Conservation Officers are continuing their investigation into the accident.
