Law enforcement said the remains have yet to be positively identified.

According to Parke County Sheriff Jason Frazier, deputies were called to the scene of the crash at 4:39 a.m. Monday after a passerby had spotted a vehicle on fire in the woods along S.R. 47 near C.R. 750 N near Marshall, Indiana.
