The man who was killed in a fiery one-vehicle crash, this week, in LaPorte County has been identified.

Investigators say Brandon Biolette, 18, of New Buffalo drove off County Road 1000 North east of Beverly Lane, around 12:30 pm. on Tuesday, Dec. 11.

His vehicle struck a tree and caught fire. The vehicle then rolled through a livestock fence, coming to rest in a pasture with the teenager trapped inside.

Biolette died due to blunt force trauma.
