A head-on crash yesterday morning in Jennings County killed a woman from St. Paul.

49-year-old Angela M. Abston died in the crash on State Road 750 near County Road 200N at about 8:45 a.m. yesterday morning.

Investigators say that a van driven by 51-year-old Christean M. Price of Seymour crossed the centerline into the path of Abston’s vehicle, says Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, spokesman for the Indiana State Police.

Abston was pronounced dead at the scene by the Jennings County Coroner’s Office. Price sustained serious injuries in the crash. She was flown by helicopter to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis.

Four passengers in Price’s vehicle sustained minor injuries. They were all taken to St. Vincent’s-Jennings Hospital.
