The initial investigation by Master Trooper Ben Bastin indicated the vehicle driven by Tammy R.

Peetz, age 44, Napoleon, Indiana.

The vehicles struck nearly head-on in the westbound lane of State Road 350.  After the collision, Judd’s vehicle came to rest in the center of State Road 350.  Peetz's vehicle left the north side of the roadway before overturning and coming to rest.  Judd sustained fatal injuries in the collision.  She was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Ripley County Coroner’s Office.  Peetz sustained minor injuries in the collision. 

Toxicology results on both drivers are pending at this time.
