Child, 8, seriously injured in Cass County crash

A child was injured in a Cass County crash Sunday.

About 1 p.m., law enforcement and medical personnel responded to the site just south of Cass CR 500 South on CR 500 East. A single vehicle went off the road and collided with a tree.

Preliminary investigation revealed Konner Galloway, 31, of Logansport, was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Impala. The Impala left the roadway, overcorrected, then crossed over the roadway and into the tree.

Galloway refused treatment for minor injuries at the scene. An eight-year-old front seat passenger was transported to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne by medical helicopter after being extricated from the vehicle by fire personnel. His injuries were described as life-threatening.

Neither person was wearing a seat belt. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says alcohol is not believed to be a factor.

DNR, New Waverly Fire, Walton Fire and Cass County Emergency Medical Services assisted at the scene.
