BRISTOL, Ind. — Authorities say at least seven people are dead after a tractor-trailer slammed into the back of a packed minivan along a northern Indiana highway.
Indiana State Police reported late Thursday that the minivan was carrying 10 people when it was hit along the Indiana Toll Road near Bristol. Seven of them died at the scene, and three others were taken to hospitals, including two who were airlifted. The driver of the tractor-trailer also was taken to a hospital.
Police say witness accounts suggest the minivan might have hit a deer, then slowed or stopped before it was hit from behind by the truck.
