16-year-old girl killed in West Lafayette crash

Posted on Nov 24, 2008

Katherine Ann Baker, 16, of West Lafayette, was killed in a two-vehicle crash shortly before midnight Sunday, November 23, 2008 at the intersection of U.S. 52 and Morehouse Road.

Joseph L. Welch, 29, of West Lafayette, was driving a 2008 Dodge Nitro heading west on U.S. 52. As Welch approached the intersection with Morehouse Road, the Dodge Nitro struck Baker's 2000 Buick LeSabre that was trying to complete its turn left from Morehouse Road onto U.S. 52. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the crash.

Welch was taken to St. Elizabeth Medical Center for minor injuries. Upon his release from the hospital, Welch was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated causing death, operating while intoxicated with a prior conviction and operating while intoxicated.
