SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. — A high school junior and a 58-year-old man were killed and a woman was injured in a crash in Sullivan County.
Sullivan County deputies were called to a two-car crash a little before 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of State Road 48 and County Road 200 East.
Mallorie Cochran, a 16-year-old junior at Farmersburg North Central High School, was driving south on County Road 200 East, while Perry Deschamp, 58, of Jasonville, was driving west on State Road 48. Sullivan County deputies said County Road 200 East has stop signs at the intersection, and State Road 48 has the right of way with no stop signs or traffic lights.
According to a preliminary investigation, Mallorie Cochran failed to yield to Perry Deschamp's vehicle, resulting in the crash. Both drivers died from their injuries.
Karla Deschamp, a 56-year-old passenger, was flown to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis in "serious but stable condition" but has since been released from the hospital.
State Road 48 was closed for about four hours but has since reopened.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
