Hendricks County - This afternoon at approximately 1:30 p.m., an Indiana State Police Trooper stopped a Chrysler van on Interstate 70 near the fifty-nine-mile marker for unsafe lane movement. The driver was identified as Ester Osegueda, age 32 of Porteville, California. The passenger in the vehicle was identified as Adam Lopez, age 27, of Tulare, California.
