A snowmobile accident early Sunday morning leaves one child dead. At 7:10 AM, the Allen County Sheriff's Office was called to a crash near Bluffton involving a single snowmobile. A 12-year-old boy on the scene was taken to Lima Memorial Health System with life-threatening injuries, where he later died. Deputies say he was wearing a helmet at the time. The accident remains under investigation.

Putnam County Sheriff's Office said that on Thursday around 4:00, 27-year-old Kyle Kopitsch was in a field about 75 yards north of Road U-20 when he hit a ditch unexpectedly. He wasn't able to stop in time and hit the ditch bank straight on. He was ejected from the snowmobile and thrown about 20 feet. Kopitsch suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to St Rita's.
