(Jasper County, IN) - A man pulling a boat when killed in a rollover accident on Interstate 65 this week was from La Porte.

 

Charles Cox, 66, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Indiana State Police.

 

Police said early findings of the investigation show Cox was southbound when for unknown reasons his 1998 Ford sport utility vehicle struck the median at a high rate of speed.

 

The SUV came to a stop on its roof in the northbound lanes while the boat and trailer disconnected from the vehicle and came to rest in the median.

 

Cox was ejected from the vehicle, police said.  The accident happened north of the Rensselaer exit.
