FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – A 26-year-old man from Fort Wayne was killed in a crash Friday evening in Huntington County.
Indiana State Police say Maung Aung died after he crossed the center line heading south on County Road 200 West just south of State Road 218, went off the road, through a yard, and hit a tree. He had to be extricated and was pronounced dead at the scene. Aung was not wearing a seat belt, and troopers say speed is likely a factor in the crash.
