GREENSBURG, Ind. – Charges have been filed against a Greensburg woman who was involved in a fatal 3-car crash in August that claimed the life of a Spiceland man.

The driver of the second vehicle was not injured, police said.

According to investigating officers, Rigby had her two sons in the vehicle at the time of the accident and she told police that she fell asleep at the wheel.
