Three dead following vehicle crash in Indiana

INDIANA — A woman and two children died in a crash on Interstate 74 in Boone County early Friday morning, authorities said.

The crash occurred around 6:30 a.m. on Feb. 7 near Jamestown, about 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

According to police, a Kia Soul from Iowa was traveling eastbound on I-74 when it rear-ended a semi-truck, crossed the median, and collided head-on with a pickup truck before coming to a stop in a ditch.

The driver of the Kia, identified as 27-year-old Ashley Morgan of Waterloo, Iowa, and two children in the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.

Another child in the car was taken to a local hospital, though the extent of their injuries was not released.

The 33-year-old driver and a passenger in the pickup truck were also transported to local hospitals with unknown injuries.

The driver of the semi-truck, a 50-year-old man, was uninjured but taken to a hospital for evaluation.

The Boone County Fatal Alcohol Crash Team is investigating the incident.

Westbound lanes of I-74 were closed for several hours near the State Road 75 exit but reopened around 10:30 a.m.
