JOHNSON COUNTY — The Johnson County Coroner’s Office has released the names of two people who were killed following a two-vehicle accident south of Amity Monday night.
The victims were identified by the coroner’s office Tuesday morning as Olivia Irene Humes, 30, of Columbus, and Charles Dell Cobb, 42, of Indianapolis. They were the drivers of their respective vehicles.
Deputies were called to U.S. 31 northbound about one mile north of State Road 252 near Amity around 9:20 p.m. Monday on a report of a serious vehicle accident. When deputies arrived they found two vehicles involved, according to a Johnson County Sheriff’s Office news release.
Witnesses told police they observed a blue Jeep driving south in the northbound lanes of U.S. 31 at approximately 60 miles per hour. This vehicle is believed to have been driven by Humes, according to a JCSO accident report.
The blue jeep then hit a Krispy Kreme truck driven by Cobb head-on, and both vehicles caught on fire. It is unknown why the Jeep was driving the wrong way, the report says.
The drivers of both vehicles were pronounced dead at the scene. Autopsies are scheduled for both victims, officials said.
The Amity Fire Department, Bargersville Fire Department EMS, Edinburgh Fire Department and the Edinburgh Police Department also responded.
