A Purdue University North Central basketball player was killed early Saturday morning after he lost control of his vehicle on U.S. Highway 6 in Jackson Township.

The victim was identified as Juan Luis Lamarr III, 19, of Hobart.

According to police, at 12:38 a.m. Lamarr was eastbound on U.S. 6 when, for an unknown reason, his 2001 Jeep left the roadway to the south, traveled over a gravel access road and back up on embankment, then went airborne across all lanes of U.S. 6 and came to rest deep in a wooded area north of the roadway.

Responding to the scene were the Liberty Township, Washington Township, and Westville fire departments and Porter Regional Hospital EMS. The PNC website lists Lamarr as a freshman guard who graduated from Hobart High School.
