SEYMOUR — A Jackson County man died as a result of a two-vehicle crash on State Road 258, just west of Seymour.
The Indiana State Police responded to a report of a crash on the state road at about 9 p.m. Friday. The initial investigation by Trooper Matt Holley, of the Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team, indicated that a red 2001 Chevrolet truck, driven by Lamar Anderson, 61, Vallonia, was traveling westbound on State Road 258 near the White River Bridge. For an unknown reason, Anderson’s vehicle left the north side of the roadway. The vehicle struck a guardrail before coming to rest facing eastbound in the westbound lane of State Road 258. Anderson’s vehicle was then struck head on by a westbound silver 2014 Buick SUV, driven by Elizabeth Helwig, 70, Seymour, said Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, spokesman for the ISP Versailles District.
Anderson sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision. He was pronounced deceased by the Jackson County Coroner’s Office, Wheeles said.
