The police officers called the parent of the driver and was informed that he was not at home.
“An officer broke the back window of the SUV to see if anyone was still in there, and there was no one inside. I walked the ditch and the cornfield for a while,” said the witness. “I was worried that someone may have flown out and hit the big boulder that was close to the truck.”
