COVINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Police say a car filled with five teenagers crashed into a farm tractor on a rural road in western Indiana, killing the 16-year-old driver.

Fountain County Sheriff William Sanders said the crash happened April 18 near the town of Covington. Sanders told the Journal & Courier the driver was pronounced dead at the scene, one passenger was taken to a hospital and the others declined treatment. The tractor driver suffered minor injuries.

Police told WLFI-TV the car might have been speeding when it topped a hill as the tractor approached from the other direction, about 30 miles southwest of Lafayette. The car hit an implement attached to the tractor, a wheel of the tractor and then spun out of control.

The Commercial News of Danville reported the driver’s name was released by the Fountain County Coroner’s office as Laine M. Kovacic of rural Kingman.

WASHINGTON, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said a fertilizer plant in Washington is cleaning up after releasing herbicides and farm chemicals into a creek.

The DNR said April 18 an employee of the Liqui-Grow plant was rinsing out totes that contained chemicals in an area designed to hold runoff. When the storage area filled, the DNR said the employee pumped the contaminated water to the ground and it ended up in a storm sewer that empties into a tributary of a creek.

The company estimates at least 400 gallons reached the tributary. Employees flushed the storm sewer with clean water and collected contaminated rinse water. The problem came to the DNR’s attention after a resident reported a strong chemical odor and milky white color in his neighborhood stream April 17.
