A truck/pedestrian accident claimed the life of a 4-year-old boy in Silver Lake yesterday. Officers and emergency personnel responded yesterday at 1:42 p.m. to a 9-1-1 report of a truck/pedestrian crash located in front of the Sand’s Mini-Mart gas station on State Road 15 in Silver Lake. Kosciusko County Coroner Michael Wilson was summoned to the scene and pronounced 4 year old Logan R. Heeter of Warsaw deceased at the scene from blunt force trauma. Kosciusko County F.A.C.T./team members stated that a preliminary investigation of the crash determined that Logan had attempted to cross the street from the west side of State Road 15. 25 year old Travis A.

Woodcock attempted to brake and swerve but could not avoid striking Logan. The crash is still currently under investigation.
