IU student killed in one-car accident

A 19-year-old IU student was killed in a one-car accident Thursday evening. Sophomore Meaghan Buis was on her way to work in Eminence, Ind. when she lost control of her car on a rural road in northwest Morgan County. She was pronounced dead on the scene.\nMorgan County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Brown said Buis was on her way to work when her car drifted across the center line. Police said she may have over-corrected the vehicle and lost control at that point. Her vehicle flipped over in a ditch and landed on the roof, Brown said. The force of the accident threw her partially out of the vehicle. \nThe accident is still under investigation by the authorities with the cause of the accident currently unknown. Brown said Buis was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident. When police responded, family members were already on their way to the scene.\n"She didn't show up for work, and she's always on time," Brown said. "It was pretty traumatic for the mother."\nBuis' funeral was held yesterday in Martinsville. Buis, a Martinsville native, just finished her freshman year at IU. \nFor more information, see Thursday's edition of the IDS.
