TERRE HAUTE A Vigo County man killed in a Monday evening car crash had a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit, a Vigo County official said.

Jeffrey W. Strain Sr., 44, of southern Vigo County was taken to Terre Haute Regional Hospital after the vehicle he was driving crossed the center line and collided head-on with another vehicle on Indiana 63 west of Honey Creek Mall around 6 p.m. Monday evening. He later died of his injuries, according to the Terre Haute Police Department.

Strain died from blunt force trauma to his chest and abdomen, according to Dr. Roland Kohr, Vigo County Coroner. Tests showed Strain had a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit, Kohr said.

Witnesses told police Strain’s vehicle was driving south on 63 when he crossed the center line and collided with a car carrying Walter Gordon, 64, and June Gordon, 61, both of Vigo County. The Gordons were taken to Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
