Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel told WKDZ that 76-year-old Douglas Euler, 46-year-old Kimberly Haley, and 25-year-old Jennifer Hoffman were killed. They were passengers in an SUV driven by Euler's wife, who was flown to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for treatment of critical injuries. Haley and Hoffman were the daughter and granddaughter of the driver, and all four people are from the Evansville area.
Although a crash reconstruction wasn't yet finished, Daniel said it appeared that the SUV made contact with a semi tractor-trailer that was in front of them, rolled over on the interstate, and was struck by another vehicle. One person in the third vehicle was taken to an area hospital for treatment of injuries.
The family was reportedly going to Daytona Beach, and more family members were a short distance behind them. Daniel told WKDZ that when the other family members passed the scene of the wreck, they didn't recognize the vehicle.
