Vigo County—This morning at 11:59, Indiana State Police and Vigo County emergency agencies responded to US 40 near Hunt Road for a one vehicle crash.

 

Preliminary investigation revealed a red 2004 Chevrolet, driven by 64-year-old Harold R. Frey of Terre Haute, IN., was westbound on US 40 and traveled left of center across the eastbound lanes. The red Chevrolet continued off the south side of the roadway and into a utility pole.
