DALEVILLE — State police have released the identities of a man who was killed and another who was critically injured in a fiery head-on collision April 29 on Indiana 67.
Jordan Xavier Ivy, 22, Muncie, died in the 8 a.m. crash, according to the Delaware County Coroner’s Office. Austin Douglas Duncan, 24, Albany, was critically injured.
According to state police, a Cadillac XT5 SUV, driven by Ivy, was southbound on Indiana 67 between Delaware County roads 600 West and 700 West when it drifted across the center line and collided head-on with a Ram pickup driven by Duncan.
“Following the collision, both vehicles caught fire,” state police reported.
Duncan was extricated from the pickup and taken to Ball Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Ivy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were contributing factors, according to state police. Evidence suggests Ivy might have fallen asleep before the collision, police said.
All lanes of Indiana 67 were closed for about four hours the day of the crash while emergency personnel investigated and cleared debris.
