Purdue's mascot -- the Boilermaker Special -- was involved in an accident Thursday that claimed one life and put two people in the hospital ... according to multiple reports.

The Boilermaker Special looks like a locomotive, but it's actually a truck customized to look like a steam locomotive from the Victorian era.

The fatal crash happened on highway US 52 in Tippecanoe County ... and footage from the wreck shows a mangled mess.

Purdue's Boilermaker Special was involved in a deadly crash Thursday afternoon.

Deputies believe the college mascot had a "possible tire malfunction" when it crossed the center line and hit a car.
