VIGO COUNTY, Ind – Thursday afternoon around 3:30, Indiana State Police and Terre Haute City Police and Fire units were called to a three vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of Fruitridge Avenue near the railroad tracks north of Terre Haute North High School on Maple Avenue.

Police say that three Vigo County School Corporation buses were stopped in the driving lane of northbound Fruitridge Avenue at the railroad tracks, as required by law, when 30 year old Daniel T. Page, of Dugger, drove his Indiana Railroad service truck, westbound across the northbound lanes of from a service road.

Page was attempting to make a left turn to proceed south on Fruitridge Avenue when he pulled into the path of a northbound car in the passing lane driven by 17-year-old Leann R. Bealmear of Terre Haute.

The car collided with the left front of the truck and then spun into the driver’s side of a school bus, driven by 57-year-old Lorri A. Ugo of Terre Haute.

Troopers say that Page may have been waved across by one of the school bus drivers.

Page was not injured.

There were 13 high school students on the school bus.

Various administrative school personnel were on scene to assist. The bus appeared to not have any damage, but by Indiana law, will be inspected by Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement troopers on Friday.
