An infant survived a car crash which killed the driver in Center Township on Sunday, the Porter County Sheriff’s Police said.

The driver--and the infants father--was identified as Jonathan Feliciano, 21, of Valparaiso.

According to police, at 8:30 p.m. Feliciano was westbound “at a high rate of speed” in the 2100 block of Ransom Road when his 2006 Ford Crown Victoria crossed the center line, left the roadway to the south, then struck a utility pole and two trees before coming to rest.

Feliciano was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, but his infant child, secured in a child safety seat in the rear of car, escaped the accident with non-life threatening injuries.

The infant was transported to Porter Regional Hospital, then transferred to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, police said.

The PCSP was assisted at the scene by Valparaiso Police and Fire and the Coroner’s Office.
