WSBT.com has reported two women have died following a two-car motor vehicle collision occurring this past Friday in rural LaGrange County, Indiana. The car drvien by Shanie Swihart (38) was struck by sixteen-year-old Taylor Miller's car as Miller was attempting to pass a motorcycle at a hillcrest. Kristin Lipscomb (20), a passenger in the car being driven by Swihart, died instantly. Swihart and her two children, who were also passengers in the car, were airlifted to the hospital. The children were treated and released for their injuries. Swihart later passed at the hospital.

This past Friday, the Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission voted to nominate the three finalists for the Indiana Supreme Court vacancy. Judge Steven H. David (Boone Circuit Court), Judge Robyn L. Moberly (Marion Superior Court) and Karl L. Mulvaney (Indianapolis attorney) have all been nominated as the remaining three finalists.

The Commission will send a report containing evaulations of the finalists to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels sometime this week. Governor Daniels will then be given 60 days to make his appointment. Good luck to the finalists.
