Authorities have released the name of the woman killed in a head-on crash on St. Joe Avenue. WNIN’s John Gibson has the update:
The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office identifies the victim as 31-year-old Maria Guetling.
She was pronounced deceased at the scene of Monday's crash on St. Joe north of Wimberg Road.
The sheriff’s office says a preliminary investigation determined a box truck traveling northbound on St. Joe ran off the right side of the roadway.
Investigators say the driver then overcorrected, crossed into the southbound lane, and collided with an SUV driven by Guetling.
A child in Guetling’s SUV sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
The driver of the truck submitted to a required chemical test.
There’s no word of any charges in the crash.
The coroner’s office say an autopsy will be conducted.
