A LaPorte County High School student was killed in a crash.

The crash happened early Thursday morning, Oct. 26, at U.S. 6 and County Road 425 West when the driver of a semi failed to yield to a pickup truck being driven by 16-year-old Mark Steuer of LaPorte.

The South Central School District issued a statement to the school, showing support for students, staff and family who are coping with Steuer’s death.

The 70-year-old Hobart man driving the semi wasn’t hurt.
