 A woman is dead after passing  a garbage truck, crashing into a tree and then being struck by another vehicle in eastern Vigo County early this morning.

Emergency crews were dispatched to Chamberlain Street, just north of SR 42, on a report of a vehicle/pedestrian crash around 5:45 a.m.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.  

The driver of the garbage truck was also stuck by the passing vehicle and was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. 

​No further information on the third vehicle has been released at this time.
