Two people were killed from a crash involving a box truck and an SUV Monday afternoon, according to Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley. The crash happened just before 1 p.m. near mile marker / exit 34 on Interstate 74. That is the exit for U.S. 231 near the north end of Crawfordsville. In addition to the two deaths, two more people were taken to the hospital.
Accord to state police, a preliminary investigation by Trooper Nelson Davis discovered that the SUV – a 1997 Ford Expedition being driven by a male – was going west on I-74 crossing the U.S. 231 overpass. For an unknown reason, he lost control and traveled through the median and slid sideways across the eastbound lanes into the path of a white 2018 Chevrolet EXP box truck. The Chevrolet t-boned the Expedition on the driver’s side. Both vehicles came to rest in the left lane of I-74.
