Wabash Men Die in Crash, Fire

Bystanders and police in the Huntington County town of Andrews watched in vain yesterday, as a car went up in flames with two men trapped inside. They had tried to rescue the men, but were unable to get them out before the fire took over. Both the men were from Wabash. 19-year-old Eli Fouts had been driving. His passenger was 24-year-old Ryan Coburn. The coroner says a combination of blunt force injuries and burns killed both men. Police say the car left a road, hit some trees and rolled over before it caught fire. But they don’t know why the car left the road to begin with.
