VIGO COUNTY, IN : A three vehicle crash on I-70 near mile marker four on May, Saturday, 13th 2017

Late Saturday afternoon, Indiana State Police and Vigo County emergency agencies responded to a three vehicle crash on I-70 near mile marker four.

Three people were found dead at the scene as a result of the crash that involved two semis and one car. Three of the deceased were in the car and one was a tractor-trailer driver. The second semi driver was not injured.

According to a preliminary investigation, fire department units and tow recovery units were working on a small tractor-trailer brake fire on the eastbound shoulder of I-70, which slowed traffic. That’s when an eastbound semi reportedly failed to slow down and struck a car, forcing it into the back of another semi.

The identities of the victims have not yet been released. Troopers believe the three occupants of the car may be from Indiana and the deceased semi driver may be from Michigan.

Eastbound lanes of I-70 were closed after the crash.

The incident is being investigated by state police.
