7 People Killed In Crash On Indiana Tollway

BRISTOL, Ind. -- An infant was among the seven people killed when a semitrailer slammed into the back of their packed minivan on an Indiana highway, and all 10 of those on board are believed to have been related, state police said Friday.

None of the minivan's occupants were wearing seat belts when the tractor-trailer rammed into their vehicle Thursday night on the Indiana Toll Road about 10 miles east of South Bend, state police Sgt. Trent Smith said.

Witnesses reported that the van appeared to have hit a deer and either slowed or stopped before the semitruck plowed into it at what investigators believe was about 65 mph, Smith said.

The infant who was killed was in a car seat but had not been buckled in, he said.

had they been buckled in. Didnt even buckle in the baby in the car seat? Tragic all around.

So incredibly stupid. At least buckle kids in, FFS. :grr:

They packed 10 Guatemalan immigrants and the baby seat into a minivan.
