Double fatality in an eastern Vigo County crash.

On May 6, 2019 at approximately 8:47 AM deputies from the Vigo County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a multi car crash on US 40 east of Hunt St. Upon arriving deputies were informed that one of the driver's in the four car crash was deceased. One was trapped in her vehicle and two others were out of their vehicles with minor injuries. The Terre Haute Fire Dept extricated a female driver, Vielka Schultz 56 of Brazil IN, from a Chevy Trailblazer who was later flown by Lifeline helicopter to a Indianapolis Hospital. She eventually succumbed to her injuries and passed away at the hospital. According to two of the driver's involved, a black Honda was traveling east bound on US Hwy 40 on top of the overpass east of Hunt St. The Honda crossed the center line for unknown reasons and collided with two west bound vehicles. One of those vehicles struck another west bound vehicle. The driver of the east bound Honda, Courtney Dailey 26 of Terre Haute, was killed in the collision. A multi agency crash reconstruction team with members from the Indiana State Police and Terre Haute City Police assisted in the investigation.
