Bremen brother and sister killed in crash

By ADAM JACKSON
Tribune Staff Writer

A 17-year-old Bremen boy and his 8-year-old sister were killed this afternoon when their minivan collided with an RV on U.S. 6 just west of King Road.

According to Sgt. Trent Smith of the Indiana State Police, Zane Triplet, 17, was driving a 2000 Chrysler minivan east on the highway shortly before 1 p.m. when it was involved in a near-head-on collision with a new Jayco motorhome headed west on U.S. 6 driven by Hazel Grant of Kokomo.

"The RV was heading to Virginia for a show," Smith said. "At this point, it appears that one of the vehicles crossed the center line … we just don’t know which one."

The impact destroyed the entire driver’s side of Triplet’s minivan, and caused the RV and a small car it was towing to careen into a corn field on the south side of the road.

Smith said that Zoie Triplet, 8, was pronounced dead at the scene, while Zane Triplet was transported to Community Hospital of Bremen before he was also pronounced dead.

Grant and two passengers in the RV, whose names were not released, were also taken to Community Hospital of Bremen for treatment of minor injuries. Their conditions were not immediately available.

As of 3:30 p.m., traffic on U.S. 6 east of U.S. 31 was still blocked in both directions. Smith said it could be two hours or more before the accident was removed from the roadway, and advised drivers to avoid the area
