2 adults, 1 child hurt in head-on crash south of Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) — Two adults and a child were hurt in a crash Sunday evening in southern Bartholomew County, Indiana State Police said Monday.

Police were called to a two-vehicle head-on crash on State Road 7 near Steven Drive at around 7:30 p.m. That’s a mostly rural area roughly 10 miles southeast of Columbus and 12.5 miles northwest of North Vernon.

State police say that 23-year-old Ty Woodson, of North Vernon, was driving southbound on State Road 7 when his Toyota Camry crossed the center line into the path of a northbound Honda Odyssey minivan driven by 39-year-old Trisha Carman, of Columbus.

The two vehicles collided head-on in the northbound lanes of State Road 7 and both vehicles came to rest in the roadway.

Woodson’s vehicle caught on fire after the crash and he was flown to an Indianapolis area hospital with serious injuries.

Carman was transported by ambulance to Columbus Regional Hospital before being flown to an Indianapolis area hospital for further treatment.

State police say 9-year-old Amberly Carman, a passenger in the minivan, was flown to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis with serious injuries.

Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, according to state police.

Investigators believe alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. Toxicology results on both drivers are pending.
