Cory Man Arrested After Deadly Hit-And-Run On Indiana 46

A fatal accident on Highway 46 near Vine Street in Riley has resulted in the arrest of 45-year-old Wesley Reagin of Cory, Indiana. Police say that speed, alcohol, and reckless driving were factors in this Indiana hit-and-run accident.

According to the Vermillion County Sheriff’s Department, Ricky Cantrell of Terre Haute had visited a bar and was speeding on Indiana 46 when he lost control of his truck and slammed into a guardrail during a turn in the highway. The truck hit a telephone pole and then spun into the lane again, only to be struck on the broadside by Reagin’s truck. Reagin had also been drinking before the accident, which occurred at 3 am in the morning on Sunday, but authorities are not sure whether either man was above the legal limit.

Passenger 35-year-old Russell Taylor was killed in the Terre Haute car accident, while passenger Amanda Noren was seriously injured. Cantrell suffered a broken leg during the car accident.

Reagin left the scene of the accident but was later arrested at Union Hospital where he was treated for his car accident injuries. He has been charged with leaving the scene of a serious bodily injury accident. Police received a tip that Reagin was involved in the hit-and-run crash and seized the damaged truck from his home in Cory. Parts of Cantrell’s truck were found embedded in Reagin’s truck.

None of the car accident victims were wearing seatbelts at the time of the Indiana accident.
