JONES — An Albion, Ind., couple died in an accident at the intersection of Michigan 60 and Michigan 40 Wednesday afternoon, the Cass County Sheriff's Office reported.

Arthur Keister, 60, and his wife, Pamela, 57, were driving their 1988 Oldsmobile north on M-40. While witnesses say Keister came to a complete stop at the intersection of M-60, he then attempted to cross the intersection and pulled out in front of a large westbound grain truck, police said.

The truck, driven by Franklin Seybert, 48, of Constantine, was unable to stop and crashed into the passenger side of their vehicle, police said. Both the Keister's car and the grain truck continued west on M-60 where they hit another semi truck, driven by Kenneth Loughe, 45, of Elkhart, that was stopped at the intersection on M-40 in the southbound lane.

The Keister's were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Neither Seybert nor Loughe were injured.

Alcohol was not a factor and everyone wore a seatbelt, police said.
