Off-road driver injured after hitting barn

An Indianapolis man was flown by LIfeline helicopter to IU Methodist Hospital, after crashing his off-road vehicle into a barn over the weekend in Brown County.

Indiana conservation officers say that the crash happened at about 4 Sunday afternoon near Nineveh. 38-year-old Christopher Oder was driving in the 8700 block Nineveh Road, when he lost control, left the road and hit the structure, authorities say. He was not wearing any protective gear and suffered head trauma.

He is in critical, but stable condition. Alcohol is believed to have played a factor.
