A woman was killed Sunday when the van in which she was riding rolled over on the Indiana Toll Road in LaPorte County, the Indiana State Police said.

The victim was identified as Lindora Cornrjo Caldron, 45, whose place of residence was not immediately known.

The driver of the 1994 Toyota Priva van, Elias Ornan Serpas Juarez, 24, of Alelphi, Md., was sited for unsafe lane movement and a child restraint violation, police said.

According to police, at 2:06 a.m. Serpas Juarez was eastbound on the Toll Road when he left the roadway at the 48.3 mile marker, rolled over several times, and came to rest in the median, upright and facing westbound.

Serpas Juarez—who advised investigators that they were traveling from Sacramento, Calif., to Maryland—sustained minor injuries. Cornrjo Caldron was transported to St. Anthony Memorial Health Center in Michigan City, where she died.

Also injured in the crash were Sylvia Murcea, 38, residence unknown, who sustained severe hand injuries and cuts on the head and chest; and Rudy Alexander Oreliana Vega, 35, of Maryland, who sustained a severe head laceration and a severe foot injury. Both were transported to LaPorte Hospital and then transferred to South Bend Memorial Hospital, police said.

In addition, two children were injured in the crash. Their names and injuries were being withheld pending notification and further investigation.
