Indiana State Police say a preliminary investigation determined an SUV driven by a Florida man was southbound in the northbound lanes of 41, near County Road 550-South, at about 11:30 Wednesday night.

The ISP says the SUV collided with a car driven by 37-year-old Leanna Morris of Mt. Carmel, who was driving in the correct lane.

The 57-year-old man from Florida was pronounced deceased at the crash scene.

Morris was taken to Deaconess Midtown Hospital in Evansville with what police called serious injuries.
