Two women are dead following a four-vehicle crash in eastern Vigo County yesterday.

• Courtney Dailey 26, of Terre Haute, was dead at the scene, after officials say her black Honda crossed the center line just before the crash.
• Vielka Schultz, 56, of Brazil, was extricated from a Chevy Trailblazer by the Terre Haute Fire Department and died shortly after being flown to an Indianapolis hospital from the scene.

Vigo County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to the multi car crash on US 40 east of Hunt Street just before 9 a.m.

Upon arrival, one was found to be deceased, one was trapped inside her vehicle and two others were out of their vehicles,  suffering only minor injuries, Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse said.
