Also killed were Lauren Diefenthaler, 19, of Ypsilanti, Mich., and Aaron Esposito, 23, of Novi, Mich., troopers said.


The car driven by Mr. Esposito was eastbound on the toll road, which is I-80/90 in Indiana, about 8:15 p.m. Sunday when he lost control on snowy pavement, crossed the median, and collided with the truck, troopers said.

The truck driver, Duane Rigdon, 53, of Carlsbad, Okla., was not hurt.

New Carlisle is about 10 miles west of South Bend, Ind.
