CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind. — Four children were killed Thursday when the car in which they were riding on Interstate 70 was struck by a semi-tractor-trailer and caught fire.
Those killed were Anesa Noel Acosta, 15; Quintin Michael McGowan, 13; Brekkin Riley Bruce, 8; and Trentin Beau Bruce, 6, according to the Indiana State Police in a news release. They were all siblings.
A passerby pulled the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu’s driver, Aaron Bruce, 34, of Kansas City, Missouri, out of his vehicle, according to the release. A medical helicopter flew the severely injured driver to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis. He remains in critical condition in the burn unit, according to Sheriff Randy Retter.
None of the Chevrolet’s passengers — the four children — was able to escape the car, the release said. Firefighters from Cambridge City, Greens Fork and Hagerstown responded to extinguish the fire.
“It was a tough scene. It was very tough,” Sgt.
