ANGOLA, Ind. — Authorities say they have positively identified the wife of PGA Tour golfer Chris Smith as the person killed in a head-on collision on Interstate 69 in northeastern Indiana.
Steuben County Coroner Rodney Snyder says the badly burned body of 42-year-old Beth Smith of Peru, Ind., was identified using dental records.
Smith's children, 16-year-old Abigail and 12-year-old Cameron, were listed in critical condition Monday at Fort Wayne's Lutheran Hospital. Steuben County Sheriff's Sgt. Philip Nott said Tuesday no further information was being released about the children because of privacy laws.
Nott said an investigation into Sunday's crash is continuing. Authorities say Abigail Smith was driving a sport utility vehicle that crossed the median and struck a bus near Angola.
