ORIGINAL STORY:
COLUMBUS, Ind. — Indiana State Police are seeking witnesses to an accident on I-65 southbound in Johnson County involving a fatality.
State police were sent to the 82.2 mile marker of I-65 at Tuesday night where first responders said passersby had pulled a driver of a pickup out of the wreckage and were performing CPR.
Despite life saving efforts, the driver of the pick-up was pronounced deceased at the scene. The other vehicle involved in the collision was a semi tractor-trailer, that driver was not injured.
Investigators believe a white Chevrolet Cobalt with either Illinois or Kentucky license plates was driving recklessly, speeding, weaving in a and out of traffic, braking suddenly in front of vehicles and giving hand gestures to other drivers, state police said. The driver of the white Cobalt allegedly pulled in front of the pick-up truck and suddenly braked. The pick-up then swerved to the right to avoid collision and was struck by the semi. The impact of the collision caused the pick-up to strike a guardrail and overturn. Alcohol or impairment is not suspected in either the driver of the pick-up or the semi.
Anyone who may have been traveling in the area of I-65 between Indianapolis and Columbus between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., who has a vehicle equipped with a dash camera, is asked to review their footage for a white Chevrolet Cobalt with Illinois or Kentucky License plates.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Indiana State Police with the information.
