Investigation continues into crash that killed Rensselaer man and Rochester teen

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office says they remain unclear as to what led to a truck crossing the center line in what is now a double-fatality.

Pulaski County deputies, EMS and the Winamac Fire Department responded to the Friday crash where they discovered Corey Sanders, 25, of Rensselaer, dead at the scene.  Meanwhile, Cowen Kumler, 16, of Rochester, was flown by helicopter to South Bend Memorial Trauma Center. The Sheriff’s Office noted in a Monday press releases that they were informed by South Bend Memorial that the juvenile in the crash had died of his injuries after two days on life support.

Pulaski County says a witness to the crash provided a statement that a pickup driven by Kumler had crossed the center line of the roadway and ran head-on into a cargo van driven by Sanders.

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office with the Indiana State Police Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating.
