On Saturday, July 7th, at approximately 5:30 pm, a Greensburg, Indiana woman was killed when the bicycle she was riding was struck by a vehicle on State Road 3 at Broadway Street in Greensburg.
The initial investigation by the Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team indicated that a bicycle being operated by Emily S. Bauman, age 43, Greensburg, Indiana was traveling southbound on Broadway Street, crossing State Road 3. Bauman’s bicycle was struck by an eastbound 2015 Nissan Altima being driven by Traci L.
