Alemayehu Hailu, both of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, died and a fourth
Solomon Tamire, also of Addis Ababa, was injured along a northern
Indiana highway when a van driven by a man who authorities say was
intoxicated struck them early Sunday.
The driver of the van that struck them, Deangelo R. Evans, 26, of
Chicago, was treated for minor injuries and charged with 3 counts each
of reckless homicide and operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing
death and one count of OWI resulting in serious bodily injury. .
The
students plus three others who were not injured had gone to Ball State
University in Muncie and Taylor University in Upland and were returning
to Manchester's campus in North Manchester, when their van had a flat
tire.
They were outside the vehicle partially off the roadway
toward the median while the tire was being changed. As they worked to
repair the tire, a van driven by Evans, left the road and struck four of
them and the van. They're students of Manchester University.
