Purdue student killed in car crash

A Purdue student died in a car crash off the intersection of Klondike Road and State Road 26 West about 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, according to a press release from Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office.
A car heading south on Klondike Road reportedly “became airborne,” and struck several trees after failing to stop at a stop sign, the release said.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified as 25-year-old Turki Faisal Aljarbou, according to a press release from Tippecanoe County Coroner Carrie Costello.
He was the only person in the car, the release said, and the crash is still under investigation.
Aljarbou was a senior in aeronautical engineering technology at Purdue.
