Accident claims Birdseye woman’s life; sends one to hospital

A rollover crash this afternoon east of Huntingburg claimed the life of a Birdseye woman.

According to state police, Reva N. Enlow, 26, of Birdseye, was eastbound on State Road 64 at about 2:08 p.m. when the vehicle she was driving went off the south side of the road. Enlow attempted to drive the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee back onto the roadway but she turned too sharply and the Jeep went into a spin.

The Jeep traveled sideways off of the north side of the roadway and rolled, coming to rest upside down on the edge of a cornfield.

As the vehicle rolled over, the passenger, Cassie Lee Turner, 25, Birdseye, was thrown from the front passenger window. After attempts by Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services and St. Anthony First Responders to revive her, Turner succumbed to her injuries.

Enlow was airlifted from the scene to St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville, where she was treated for injuries to her head, spleen, and back. She is listed in stable condition.

Neither occupant was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Dubois County Sheriff’s Department, St. Anthony Fire Department, Memorial Hospital EMS, and Dubois County Coroner’s Office all responded to the scene.
