Indiana State Police say a driver being chased by a Pike County Sheriff’s deputy crossed the centerline of State Road 64 Saturday evening and struck a van head-on.
The van’s driver, 41-year-old Amanda Wertman of Winslow, and her 8-year-old daughter were killed; three other juveniles in the van are hospitalized but are expected to recover.
The car’s driver, whose name hasn’t been released, also died.
Police say before the crash, the driver had run another motorist off the road and tried to strike the deputy’s vehicle. Authorities also claim the incident stemmed from an alleged domestic battery by the un-identified deceased driver that struck Wertman’s vehicle.
