WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — A driver died Thursday night after encountering deer on a rural stretch of Tippecanoe County and crashing, the sheriff’s office says. The Tippecanoe County Coroner’s Office was expected to later release the driver’s identity. Investigators says a witness saw the driver’s 2016 Chevrolet Impala encounter multiple deer just before 6:15 p.m. Thursday in the 5400 block of Division Road. That’s about 3 miles west of Fort Ouiatenon, a historic landmark southwest of West Lafayette. The witness saw the car go off the road and hit a tree. The driver died at the crash scene. The driver was unrestrained, the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release issued Thursday night from Capt. Robert Hainje.
