Deputies investigating fatality crash in northwestern Vigo County

On July 22nd at 2:03pm, The Vigo County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of St Rd 63 and Trinity Av in northwestern Vigo County. A pickup truck was westbound on Trinity Av and was attempting to cross St Rd 63. The truck crossed the northbound lanes and stopped in the crossover. The driver of the truck told deputies that he did not see any oncoming traffic, so he proceeded west, crashing into a southbound passenger car. The driver of the passenger car was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the pickup, and a passenger in the car were both transported to Union Hospital for treatment. No names are being released until family notifications can be made. The investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released at an appropriate time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all involved. John Plasse Vigo County Sheriff
