An 18-year-old from Illinois died in a one-vehicle crash in unincorporated Lowell early Thursday morning, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Department.
The Lake County Coroner’s Office on Friday identified the teen as Carson Kelly. The cause of death was multiple injuries due to a motor vehicle accident; toxicology reports are pending.
Officers who responded at around 3 a.m. March 27 to 231st Avenue and Colfax Street believe the teen was driving a pickup west on 231st Avenue when his truck veered off the roadway, Sheriff’s Spokeswoman Pam Jones said in a release. The truck hit a culvert, went airborne, landed and rolled over, ejecting him from the vehicle.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Department Reconstruction Team is investigating the case.
