A motorist was eastbound on Ind. 120 and ‘didn’t see’ two bicyclists in front of him, also eastbound. The motor vehicle collided with the rear of one of the bicycles, throwing both the operator and a child passenger from the bike. Both the bicycle operator and the child died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash according to the police report.
