Two Indiana residents were killed and three other people injured in a fiery two-vehicle crash north of Homer on Easter Sunday.

“This was by far the worst car fire I’ve been involved with in my 25 years of firefighting,” said Homer Fire Chief Don Happ.

Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup said that Dorothy Doxtater, 62, of Indianapolis, and Scott Doxtater, 33, of Indianapolis, were pronounced dead at the scene at 1:28 p.m. Sunday.

Autopsies of both people have been scheduled for Monday, Northrup said. An inquest may be held at a later date.
