A 16-year-old died in a single-vehicle rollover on Bullittsville Road in Hebron on Sunday night, April 5.
According to the Boone County Sheriff's Office, Zachary Snyder, 16, of Burlington, was the front-seat passenger in a 2015 Honda Accord. Authorities said the 17-year-old driver lost control in a sharp curve, and the car struck several trees and rolled.
Investigators said Snyder was ejected and became trapped under the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said two backseat passengers, ages 17 and 18, and the driver were hospitalized and are expected to survive.
“Preliminary findings indicate that speed is a contributing factor, and neither the driver nor the deceased were wearing seatbelts,” the Sheriff's Office reported.
The names of the driver and other passengers have not been released. No charges had been announced as of April 6, and the crash remains under investigation.
