The Allen County Coroner has identified Chandler James Mycroft, a 26-year-old Fort Wayne man, as the victim who died after a truck struck his moped on Tuesday night. Mycroft succumbed to complications from multiple blunt impact injuries sustained in the crash, passing away on Thursday.
The incident occurred at 11:16 p.m. at the intersection of Coliseum Boulevard and Lake Avenue. Police report that 20-year-old Conner Mullins was driving a Dodge Ram 1500 when he rear-ended Mycroft’s moped with such force that the damage extended to the truck’s engine.
Investigators determined that Mullins’ blood alcohol content was .16, twice the legal limit. He has been charged with operating while intoxicated and causing serious bodily injury.
Tragically, Mycroft’s death marks the 12th fatality on Allen County roads this year.
