Sheriff’s department investigating fatal car accident

A Bedford woman died Sunday morning after a two-car accident on State Road 45.
Denise Bromley, 41, died at the scene.
Bromley was driving a Dodge sedan when Steve Hatton, 33 of Solsberry, Ind., crossed the center line and crashed into the driver’s door of Bromley’s vehicle, according to police reports.
Hatton was taken to the Bloomington Hospital but his condition is unknown.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department responded to the crash and determined that at impact, Bromley’s vehicle was positioned in a manner that indicates she was trying to avoid the collision.
Hatton told police he had been at a friend’s house and remembers leaving but doesn’t remember anything leading up to the crash.
The Sheriff’s Department is still investigating the accident.
Bromley’s death was the second fatality Sunday.
The Sheriff’s department is currently investigating the death of 17-year-old Katie Sorrells. Sorrells was trapped under a motorcycle after it hit a dumpster on Anderson Road.
The driver of the motorcycle, Dennis A. Knowles, 19, was taken to Bloomington Hospital. His condition is unknown at the time.
Toxicology reports are pending.
