Authorities have released the identities of two people killed in separate crashes last week. WNIN’s has the update:

The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office says 65-year-old Dorothy Roth of Evansville died after a single-vehicle crash on Broadway Avenue near Nurrenbern Road Thursday night.

Roth was pronounced dead at the scene.

Meanwhile, the victim of Friday morning’s wrong-way crash on Highway 41 near Baseline Road has been identified as 43-year-old Larry Pennell (peh-NELL) of Cave-in-Rock, IL.

Investigators believe Pennell was driving the wrong direction on 41 and crashed head-on into another vehicle.

The other driver was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
