DEKALB COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) – A single vehicle crash Saturday afternoon in DeKalb County resulted in the death of the Edgerton, Ohio driver.
Shortly before 12:30 p.m, officers were called to the 7300 block of CR 28. They located two female passengers who were able to exit the vehicle before it then caught on fire. The male driver was located deceased in the vehicle.
The investigation determined that the vehicle was traveling eastbound on CR 28 at a high rate of speed when the vehicle hit a bump in the road, causing the driver to then lose control and overcorrect before running into a ditch and flipping several times.
The vehicle came to a rest on the driver side, with 27-year-old Logan Riehle pinned.
Both passengers were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Speed and a controlled substance are considered contributing factors to the crash.

Fortunately, the passengers were able to walk away with minor injuries.
As a routine driver, we are the ones responsible for our passengers. In turn, we too are responsible for keeping our fellow motorists, bicyclists & pedestrians as safe as we can. When we endanger the lives of those people, by means of impairment or speeding, it is difficult to to understand the choices that driver made.
It is hard to sugar-coat that thought, this is what i think when i read articles of this nature.
I saw another articles about Logan. Seemed like he was a fun and care-free individual, whom may have thrown caution to the wind, at times. Or, he might have been fighting his own demons… and lost.
My condolences to the family.
