“It is unclear at this time how the Mustang entered the interstate. However, the Mustang was driven westbound on the interstate in the eastbound lanes prior to the collision,” the office said in a statement.
The driver of the Mustang, identified as Phillip Lloyd of Richmond, Indiana, died at the scene of the crash, on Interstate 70 near the city of Richmond, close to the Ohio border.
The sheriff’s office and Greyhound spokeswoman Lanesha Gipson said the crash sent 18 bus passengers to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Gipson's report says that Medics airlifted the bus driver to a medical center in Indianapolis, about 70 miles from the crash scene. The extent of the driver’s injuries was however not immediately known.
The New York City-bound bus was heading toward Dayton, Ohio, at the time of the crash.
“We’re cooperating fully with law enforcement’s investigation as well,” Gipson said.
