Preliminary investigation by Trooper Daniel Connolly revealed that a 2005 Ford Focus was traveling south bound in the left lane when for unknown reasons, the vehicle left the east side of the roadway. The vehicle then went back onto the roadway, crossed the southbound lanes, and drove into the right ditch, rolling over several times. As a result of the crash, the driver was ejected from the vehicle.
The driver was transported by EMS to IU Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, who later succumbed to their injuries. With the assistance of the Tippecanoe County Coroner's Office and Morgan County Sheriff's Office, notification to the family of the deceased has been made.
The deceased has been identified as Lindsay Estep, 28, of Mooresville, IN.
Trooper Connolly was assisted by the Indiana DNR, Phoenix and Wolcott EMS, Wolcott Fire Department, Brookston Fire Department, and Farney's Towing.
