Apr. 16—Terre Haute police are investigating a fatal vehicle crash that occurred about 6 p.m. Tuesday at Erie Canal and Lockport roads.

Upon arrival, officers discovered that one driver had died of their injuries, THPD said.

Terre Haute Fire Department personnel provided treatment to the other driver for non-life-threatening injuries; that individual was taken to a local hospital.

Erie Canal Road between Voorhees and Hulman streets was temporarily closed to facilitate the work of the crash team and detectives. The public was asked to avoid the immediate area Tuesday night.

Further information will be released after family of the crash victims have been notified and as the investigation permits, police said.
