An Akron teenager was critically injured in a one-car crash.

Multiple agencies responded to a single vehicle collision in Lake Township about 6:45 pm Saturday. Although the investigation by the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office Fatal Team is ongoing, deputies have determined that Brendyn Ryan Stump, 16, was traveling eastbound on State Road 14 when his vehicle left the south edge of the roadway. The 2017 Ford Fusion turned sideways in the ditch and struck a utility pole at Packerton Road.

Fire crews extricated Stump from the vehicle and he was airlifted to a Fort Wayne hospital in critical condition. The intersection remained closed for an extended period while crews removed the vehicle and repaired the utility pole.

The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office, Claypool Police Department, Pierceton Police Department, Silver Lake Police Department, Silver Lake Fire Department, Sidney Fire Department, Warsaw-Wayne Township Fire Territory, Parkview EMS, Parkview Samaritan Air Ambulance and Indiana Department of Transportation all responded to the accident scene.
