A young Marine was killed in Indiana when a wheel flew off another vehicle and crashed into her pickup truck, state police said.
Lance Corporal Olivia Kustes, 18, from Rineyville, Kentucky, died Wednesday after a wheel from a pickup truck fell off the vehicle and barreled into her truck after crossing a median on I-65 in southern Indiana.
Police say a commercial vehicle driver, Alvin Logan, maneuvered his semi-trailer in front of Kustes' truck to slowly bring it to a stop.

Investigators attend the scene of the crash to carry out examinations and remove the pickup
Kustes was pronounced dead at the scene from her injuries. The driver of the other truck, a GMC pickup, was not arrested nor given any citations, the Indianapolis Star reported.
It is understood that Kustes was on leave because of the death of her grandmother at home in Rineyville on December 16.
Even though she was on bereavement leave, Kustes continued her duties as a Marine. She was scheduled to return to active duty on January 23.
A post on Louisville Marines Facebook page said that she loved animals and she was home as part of the Marine Corps Recruitment Assistance Programme.
He told Wave3 News: 'She was a lot more than an 18-year-old driver. You see somebody who is serving their country and as police officers we dedicate our lives to helping others as well, you see somebody who has stepped up and it just touches you'.
'She was a lot more than an 18-year-old driver'. While she was in high school, she visited the Marine Corps recruiting office in Elizabethtown.
Staff Sergeant Jason Almodovar was the substation’s staff non-commissioned officer at the time.
Friends claimed Olivia Kustes (pictured) was a determined young lady 'who would conquer any obstacle in front of her'

He told Wave3 News: 'Her physical fitness was very low. She ran a mile and a half in 18 minutes. She had to almost cut that in half to meet the standards to become a United States Marine. Not everybody can do that.
However she managed to last the pace and completed bootcamp in Parris Island in December 2017.
'I was super proud of her. No matter what obstacle was in front of her she was going to conquer it. She was going to find a way and she was going to conquer it'.
A wheel from another car flew off another vehicle and crashed into her pickup truck
Kustes went on to train in North Carolina, Florida, and Arkansas until she was stationed in North Carolina.
She was scheduled to go back to her base on January 23, a week after the accident that ended her life.
'Moving forward, I don’t know. It’s the first time I’m going through something like this. It’s a learning experience for everybody'.
Gunnery Sergeant Paul Borrero said Kustes was like a little sister. He believes she was drawn to the Marines because she was searching for a family like bond.

'I think that’s what she was really striving for. She wanted to be a part of something where she could be selfless, which she was.
'We had many conversations about that. When you grow up, you’re looking for family but when you’re looking for something extra or something bigger than yourself, the ability to say 'hey, I did that.'
'Forever and always I will always be remembered as a United States Marine'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
