Local teen dies in crash
The Times Bulletin
WILLSHIRE - A 16-year-old Willshire teen died over the weekend after a one-car crash early Saturday morning in Mercer County.
According to the Mercer County Sheriff's Office, the department received a 9-1-1 call reporting that a 16-year-old had not arrived home as of 3:16 a.m. After a brief search, Tyler James Dellinger, 16, of Willshire, was found dead at 3:34 a.m. Saturday in Black Creek Township. Authorities say the crash occurred sometime after midnight.
According to reports, the crash scene was discovered by friends and family of the 16-year-old. The crash scene was located on Grauberger Rd., approximately 1/4 of a mile north of Wilson Rd.
Authorities say speed appears to be a factor in the crash.
Dellinger was reportedly driving a 2003 Dodge Stratus northbound on Grauberger Rd. when he lost control of the vehicle and traveled off the east side of the road. The vehicle struck a utility pole before flipping several times. The car eventually came to a rest in a cornfield.
Authorities say Dellinger was ejected from the vehicle, which subsequently caught on fire and burned. There were no passengers in the vehicle.
The Rockford and Chattanooga fire departments, along with a Rockford squad, responded to the scene, as did Mercer County Coroner Dr. Tim Heinrichs.
Dellinger is the son of James and Vicki Dellinger of Willshire. He would have been a junior at Parkway High School in Rockford.
Dellinger was a member of the Parkway High School golf team, baseball team, ACME baseball team and Future Farmers of America.
