An Oakland City man is dead following an off-road crash. WNIN’s John Gibson reports:
Indiana Conservation Officers responded to private property near Old State Road 64 and State Road 257, east of Oakland City, after a report of an off-road vehicle crash Sunday evening.
The DNR says an initial investigation determined that 50-year-old John Goodall was leaving his deer hunting area to pick up his spouse, who was hunting nearby.
Investigators say Goodall’s ORV overturned and trapped him underneath.
Goodall’s spouse, who heard the accident, responded to help and called 911.
Despite life saving measures, John Goodall was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Conservation Officers remind ORV operators and passengers to always wear a helmet, protective riding gear, and use all safety restraints.
