RUSH COUNTY — A 21-year-old Greensburg woman was fatally struck by a car Friday while she was lying in a roadway after she wandered from the scene of a rollover crash.

Before being struck, Colleen Bray was driving a Chevrolet pickup south on Ind. 3 when her car left the road and rolled over, according to a news release from Indiana State Police.

Bray then got out of the pickup, walked north on Ind. 3, and at some point became incapacitated and lied in a northbound lane near the Rush/Decatur County line.

Then, at about 7 a.m., the driver of a Chevrolet Traverse traveling north struck Bray as she lied in the roadway.

Bray was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Traverse driver was transported to Rush County Hospital, where she underwent a chemical test. Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the crash.
