An early morning crash on I-65 near Henryville claimed the life of an Austin man on Tuesday.
Around 1:45 AM on Tuesday, first responders and emergency personnel responded to a report of a three-vehicle crash on I-65 near the 21-mile-marker. The crash reconstruction team from the Sellersburg post was called to the scene once it was determined to be a fatal crash. The crash closed all northbound lanes of the interstate, and officers diverted traffic off onto the Henryville exit until approximately 7 AM Tuesday.
Following the preliminary investigation, officers believe a White Dodge pickup truck was traveling northbound on I-65 while pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with large, industrial air-conditioning units. One of the air-conditioning units fell off the trailer near the 21-mile marker, and a northbound Chevrolet Malibu passenger car collided with the air-conditioner before the pickup driver could remove it from the roadway. Shortly after this collision, a northbound UPS semi-truck changed lanes to avoid striking the Malibu; tragically, the driver of the Malibu exited the vehicle at the exact moment and was struck and killed by the semi.
The driver of the Malibu has been identified as 55-year-old Matthew Shannon Campbell of Austin, Indiana. The family of the deceased has been notified.
This crash is still under investigation.
