(SEYMOUR, Ind.) – Three people were killed after a wrong-way crash on I-65 near Seymour early Sunday morning. 

The crash happened around 2:30 a.m. near the southbound 48-mile marker in Jackson County.

Both Osborn and the child lost their lives in the crash. 

Middlebrooks was also pronounced dead at the scene.
