STEUBEN COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) – The fatal crash last month in Steuben County claimed the life of a missing teen.
Just after 11 p.m. on April 19, Ashley-Hudson Police Department officers began investigating a suspicious vehicle in the 100 block of S Harrison Ave. The driver then drove away, with police attempting a traffic stop.
A chase ended near Old 27 and 800 S when the vehicle left the roadway, struck a tree, and burst into blames. The driver was unable to be rescued due to the extreme heat.
Officers learned that the vehicle had been stolen.
DNA evidence showed that the driver was a 14-year-old who had recently ran away from home.
Our partners in news at 21 Alive report that police say the teen is Jaden Bowman, who had been missing from Waterloo earlier the same evening.

ill miss him he was my best friend
Daven,
As Jaden’s best friend, i bet you know more about them than anyone. A best friend is someone you can tell anything to, and know that they can trust you likewise. When you lose that, it can be difficult.
I hope you have someone that you can confide in when you feel burdened and need to talk. It’s not the easiest thing to do, but i would ask for a counselor if you need to share your thoughts.
I hope you, and Jaden’s other friends, can find a way to learn and grow from this ordeal. Healing takes time, so don’t rush it. Grieving for this tragic loss will come and go.
Keep Jaden in your thoughts. Keep their memory alive, because that’s what the best of friends do.
Try to keep your chin up, keep your friends and family close, and remember that tomorrow is a going to be a different day.
