Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a hunting accident that occurred Sunday evening and claimed the life of a Fairmount man.
Shortly before 6 p.m., Indiana Conservation Officers responded to a report of a hunting-related accident in Wabash County. The preliminary investigation determined that a male hunter accidentally discharged a crossbow, causing an arrow to strike his right leg.
The individual sustained life-threatening injuries and was treated at the scene before being airlifted to Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. He later died as a result of his injuries.
The victim’s identity is being withheld pending family notification. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
Assisting at the scene were the Wabash County Sheriff’s Department, Lagro Township Fire Department, Wabash Fire Department, and Indiana State Police.
