BORDEN, IN : 6-year-old boy killed in violent crash near Borden, Indiana on Wednesday, March 8th 2017

A 6-year-old boy was killed in a violent crash involving three cars on Highway 60 in Clark County, Indiana, early Wednesday.

It happened around 8 a.m. on Roy J. Lane near Deam Lake in Borden.

The coroner has identified the victim as Ayden Roberts. He was in the back seat of a white Chevrolet Impala that was split in half. He was taken to Norton Children's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say his father, Peter Roberts, was driving when he ran off the road into a ditch, over-corrected and slammed into oncoming traffic.

Peterson and the drivers of the other cars were rushed to the hospital, but their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Highway 60 was littered with debris from the crash. Joyce Nolot looked out her window and saw the aftermath.

"I just got up and was fixing a cup of coffee and I heard this loud bang, and looked out and there was cars going everywhere -- out by the mail box and down through the ditch," said Nolot, who immediately called 911. "And I seen a guy get up, stumbling out, and fell to the ground. We didn't know what was going on."

Nolot says Highway 60 is like a raceway for speeding traffic.

"Every time I come up here and get ready to turn in the driveway, I always check behind me to see if they're slowing down," Nolot said. "It's a very dangerous highway."
