Officers say Schum was travling at a high rate speeding and hit a vehicle coming out of a driveway driven by  47-year-old Marilyn Hanselman. The ATV hit the SUV and flipped throwing both from the four wheeler.

Schum was flown by Air Evac to Deaconess Hospitall Evansville and was treated for a cut to the head.  Kluemper was taken to St. Mary’s in Evansville with minor injuries.
