Coroner: Teen killed in crash had BAC over legal limit

By Joe Gerrety, Journal and Courier

Bryan K. Snyder, who died Feb. 6 from injuries suffered in a one-vehicle crash on Indiana 25 West, had a blood-alcohol content well over the legal limit.

Snyder, 18, of 10625 E. County Road 440 S., a Harrison High School senior, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.13 percent after the crash, the Tippecanoe County coroner's office confirmed Tuesday.

The legal limit for driving in Indiana is 0.08 percent.

Snyder was driving a 1994 GMC Sierra north on Indiana 25 near its intersection with Indiana 28 about 9:48 p.m. Feb. 5 when the truck's tires went off the right side of the road.

Snyder apparently overcorrected, crossed the center line and went into a field on the west side of the road, overturning.

He was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected, suffering serious injuries.
