(Jennings County, Ind.) - Two people were killed in three-vehicle head on crash on Friday morning. 

Troopers from the Indiana State Police - Versailles Post responded to the crash on U.S. 50 in western Jennings County around 8:00 a.m.

Troopers say Halle Elliott, 19 of Louisville, was traveling eastbound near County Road 575 West between Seymour and North Vernon, when for an unknown reason her vehicle crossed the center line and into the path of an oncoming Freightliner, driven by Jacob Hyman, 28, of North Vernon. 

The impact caused Elliot's vehicle to turn sideways and into the path of a third vehicle, driven by Robert Keener, 54, North Vernon. The front of Keener's vehicle struck the passenger side of Elliott's vehicle. 

Elliot and her front seat passenger, Skyler Short, 20, of Hanover, sustained fatal injuries and both were pronounced dead at the scene. 

The other two drivers were not injured in the crash. 

The crash remains under investigation and toxicology results are pending.
