CLINTON COUNTY, Ind. – Funeral arrangements for the two sisters killed after a vehicle crashed into their Clinton County home were announced Sunday.

Visitation services for Haleigh,17, and Callie Fullerton, 8, will be held Tuesday from 3-8 p.m. at the Clinton Prairie Fieldhouse. Services will be held at the same location Wednesday at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in Green Lawn Memorial Park.

The Fullerton girls died July 12 when a teen lost control of her vehicle and crashed into their home in the 400 block of W. County Road 300 north around 9:30 p.m.

Clinton County Chief Deputy Joseph Mink said they believe the vehicle was headed west on County Road 300 North when the 17-year-old driver lost control. The vehicle went through a ditch and a field before crashing into the house.

The driver told police that she was going about 80 miles per hour at the time of the crash.

The teen was arrested and has been preliminarily charged with criminal recklessness, although they are awaiting the Clinton County prosecutor's decision on further charges.
