He was flown to St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville, where he died on Nov. 26 as a result of the injuries.
The accident happened just north of C.R. 1050 North on C.R. 1200 East sometime before 7:38 p.m. The cause is unknown. Carter was not wearing a helmet or protective gear.
Responding agencies included the Spencer County Sheriff’s Department, Santa Claus Police Department, Spencer County EMS, Stat Flight, New Boston Fire Department and Indiana Conservation Officers.
