A nine-year-old Monroe City boy has died after a two-vehicle crash Sunday on State Road 57 near County Road 700 South in Daviess County.

The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office says 25-year-old Jacob Sisco of Washington was driving north when he lost control of his car and hit a southbound minivan.

Keith Walston, a passenger in the minivan, was taken to an Indianapolis hospital, where he later died.

The minivan’s driver, 62-year-old Melinda Pea of Monroe City, and another child in the vehicle were also hospitalized.

Sisco was not hurt.

He faces preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury and operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting in death.

The investigation is ongoing.
