A Silver Lake woman was killed in a Tuesday morning Fulton County single-vehicle crash.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Department says personnel were dispatched to 610 South State Road 14 just before 10 am.  The driver of the vehicle, Brittany Scutchfield, 34, was entrapped and unresponsive.  Henry Fire extricated the driver and despite life saving measures, Scutchfield was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators determined that for an unknown reason Scutchfield’s 2021 Ford Explorer exited the west side of the roadway and struck a tree.  The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Indiana State Police, Akron Police, Lutheran EMS and the Fulton County Coroner’s Office also assisted at the scene.
