A passenger in her minivan, nine year-old Keith Walton, was taken to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, where he later died. Pea and another passenger were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
The driver of the vehicle that struck Pea’s minivan was identified as 25 year-old Jacob Sisco of Washington.
