Three Year Old Airlifted After ATV Crash
Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) crash that injured a three year old child over the weekend.
At approximately 4:10 p.m. Saturday, Hudson Otter, 3, was operating a TAOTAO Boulder B1 110cc ATV on private property near the 13000 block of Seymour Road in Switzerland County, Indiana.
The ATV rolled and pinned Otter underneath. Otter’s father, who was supervising his ATV operation at the time of the crash, quickly removed the ATV from him and called 911.
Otter was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which is believed to have significantly reduced further injury.
Otter was airlifted by Air Methods to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for treatment. Otter suffered an apparent broken arm, but the extent of his injuries are unknown at this time and do not appear to be life threatening.
Indiana Conservation Officers, Switzerland County Deputies, EMS/Fire Squad 9 and East Enterprise EMS/Fire arrived shortly after the crash and are currently investigating.
Indiana Conservation Officers strongly encourage riders to wear a helmet and necessary safety equipment, no matter the age or experience of the rider, at all times. Appropriately sized helmets, safety gear and ATV size should be considered for each individual rider and can greatly reduce the severity of injury in the event of a crash.
Two Vehicle Crash Claims Life of North Vernon Man
Sunday shortly after 3::00 pm, the Indiana State Police responded to a two vehicle crash on US 50 at State Route 750 that claimed the life of an eighteen year old North Vernon man.
Dead is Caleb M. Fish, age 18, North Vernon, Indiana
The initial investigation by the Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team determined that a gray 2004 Chevrolet pickup truck being driven by Michael C. Furlong, age 53, Cynthiana, Kentucky was traveling westbound US 50 at SR 750.
Furlong’s vehicle entered SR 750 into the path of a westbound red 1995 GMC being driven by Fish.
The vehicles collided in the middle of the intersection. Both vehicles then left the north side of US 50 before coming to rest.
As a result of the collision, Fish sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Jennings County Coroner’s Office.
Furlong and a female passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries in the crash. They were both transported to St. Vincent-Jennings Hospital in North Vernon, Indiana for treatment of their injuries.
The Fish family has been notified.
The Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team is continuing their investigation. They were assisted by the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, Jennings County EMS, Spencer Twp. Fire Department, Jennings County Coroner’s Office, Seymour Mack, and Hampton’s Wrecker Service.

The driver was a juvenile female from Owensboro, Kentucky that did not have a driver’s license.
There were two other juvenile females in the car along with Ingram.
During the traffic stop, a Georgetown Police Officer and his police K-9 assisted trooper Farias with a walk around sniff of the stopped car.
