Hampton Roads residents killed in tragic out-of-state auto accident
Posted on Feb 25, 2010
The Hampton Roads area has lost two people after a tragic crash on an Indiana highway. According to police, the accident happened in northwestern Indiana when the couple’s SUV collided with a tractor-trailer.
Amanda McRae, 25, of Portsmouth, and Lewis Corron, 35, of Chesapeake, were headed southbound on Interstate 65 about 25 miles south of Gary when they crossed the medial and hit the semi-trailer head-on.
Both McRae and Corron were killed in the collision. The truck driver was not injured in the crash, and the containers of compressed chlorine that he was carrying fell off the truck but were not damaged.
I-65 was closed for over three hours after the crash so the scene could be investigated. The accident happened in the early hours of the morning, and it is not know if drowsy driving was a factor in the crash.
When passenger vehicles like the SUV in this case collide with a large truck, the result is often very serious injury or death for the occupants of the passenger vehicle because of the enormous size difference between the two vehicles. In addition, head-on collisions are the worst type of crash, as the force of each vehicle traveling in opposite directions combines upon impact, causing massive property damage and serious personal injury.
