(Versailles, Ind.) - Indiana State Police – Versailles Post responded to a two-vehicle crash in rural Jennings County on Saturday afternoon.

The crash claimed the life of Christian P. Schular, 39, of Versailles.

According to ISP investigators, a vehicle driven by Jessica Parsons, 40, of Butlerville, was traveling eastbound on County Road 650 North near County Road 575 East when for an unknown reason her vehicle left the right side of the roadway.

Parsons overcorrected and traveled into the path of a westbound vehicle being driven by Schular.

Schular was pronounced dead at the scene. A female passenger sustained serious injuries and was flown to UC Medical Center for treatment.

Parsons suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital.

The investigation is ongoing and toxicology results on both drivers are pending. Speed may be a contributing factor, according to ISP.
