WABASH - A Kosciusko County teen died Thursday night in a one-car accident that left a North Manchester teen hospitalized.

Tony Marcum, 16, no address available, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 8:05 p.m. accident on CR 300W just north of CR 1400N. Marcum's car left the road, proceeded up a small incline and over a fence, and flipped end over end.

Injured in the accident were Meghann Hileman, 13, North Manchester, and Nate Morse, 15, also of North Manchester. Both were initially transported to Wabash County Hospital for treatment.

Hileman was transferred to Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne, where she is listed in serious but stable condition. Morse was treated and released from WCH.

The accident remains under investigation by the Wabash County Sheriff's Department.
