Vanderburgh County, IN : One person died and three injured in a head-on collision on the University Parkway on Saturday night, March 14, 2015

The Vanderburgh County Coroner's Office has identified the Evansville teen who died in a head-on collision on the University Parkway.

Deputy Coroner Steve Lockyear says 15-year-old Logan Brown was a student at Reitz High School. An autopsy is pending.

Brown was a passenger in a Hyundai Tiburon, which was hit head-on by a Jeep Grand Cherokee on Saturday.

The crash happened around 10:35 p.m. between Middle Mt. Vernon Road and Hogue Road. Three other people were injured in the wreck.

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding says the driver of the Jeep, 38-year-old Michael Neil Gann of Evansville, was traveling the wrong way (southbound) in the northbound lanes of University Parkway.

He was transported to Deaconess Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
Wedding says Gann had a BAC that was four times the legal limit.

The driver of the Hyundai, 16-year-old Kurt Michael Osborne of Evansville, was also taken to Deaconess with serious injuries.

A passenger in the Hyundai, 16-year-old Hannah Nicole Miller of Evansville, was transported to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

A 911 call indicated that one of the involved vehicles was on fire and the occupants were trapped inside. An off-duty deputy working security at the University of Southern Indiana was the first responder to arrive.

He used a fire extinguisher from his patrol vehicle to put out the flames and then began to render aid. Occupants from both vehicles had to be extricated.

Wedding says they don't believe excessive speed was a factor in the accident and it does not appear that either car braked before the crash.

He says they are looking into whether the headlights were working on the vehicles.

A sheriff's office reconstructionist was called to the scene and the crash remains under investigation.
Firefighters from Perry Township Fire Department and multiple ambulances from AMR responded to the scene.

On Monday students will be returning to Reitz High School were Brown attended school.

Marsha Jackson with the EVSC says the crisis counseling team will be there for those who need to talk."Students who feel the need to talk or to just be with someone, sometimes they don't even talk, its just a matter of having someone there for them to be comforting to them," says Jackson.
