Overnight Crash Near 296th Street and Carpenter Road in Hamilton County Claims Life of Elwood Man

<p>On Friday, September 30, 2016 at approximately 10:33pm, the Hamilton County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office responded to the report of an inverted vehicle crash on 296th Street east of the intersection with Carpenter Road in the northeast section of Hamilton County. A passing motorist spotted a vehicle in a field south of the road that serves as the county line between Hamilton County and Tipton County. Responding police and fire units found a single occupant trapped inside the vehicle. Deputies determined a blue 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier was traveling eastbound on 296th Street when the driver ran off the roadway striking a utility pole and overturning. The driver of the vehicle, Steven E. O&rsquo;Neal, age 29 of Elwood, was pronounced deceased by medics at the scene of the crash. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Crash Investigation Team but high water from recent rains may have been a contributing factor in the incident. Anyone with additional information should contact the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office at 317-773-1282.</p>
