ALBANY, Ind. – An 85-year-old Muncie woman died following a crash in Albany.
The Delaware County Coroner’s office identified the victim as Marilyn Pittenger.
According to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, the three-vehicle crash was reported around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday. It happened on Indiana 67 near the entrance to the Albany Golf Club.
The sheriff’s office said Pittenger was driving a Ford Explorer when she crashed into the back of a vehicle that had stopped to turn into the golf club. The Explorer then struck another vehicle head-on, police said.
