A Greyhound bus and an SUV were involved in a White County, IN crash on Interstate 65 Friday afternoon.  Indiana State Police responded along with several other emergency units.  Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.   70-year-old Joseph Utley of Valparaiso, IN, was southbound in the left lane when for an unknown reason, the vehicle went into the right lane and sideswiped an SUV Tahoe.  Utley's car went into the ditch on the west side of the southbound lanes. The driver of the Tahoe lost control, traveled across the median, and into the northbound lanes.

State Police reported at the same time, a Greyhound bus, driven by 65-year-old James Jones of Chicago was northbound in the left lane. The Greyhound bus collided with the Tahoe on the passenger side. Both of those vehicles came to rest in the ditch on the east side of the northbound lanes.  Both occupants of the Tahoe were pronounced dead by the White County Coroner. Their names are being withheld pending identification and notification to the family.

Multiple passengers from the Greyhound bus were transported to several nearby hospitals with non-life-threating injuries. One passenger from the Greyhound bus was transported to a hospital in Indianapolis by St. Vincent StatFlight helicopter. There were approximately 50 people involved in the accident.  Joseph Utley was uninjured, and James Jones was transported to a Lafayette area hospital with non-life-threating injures.
