INDIANAPOLIS, IN : 2 semi drivers die in head-on crash and ‘explosion’ near Lebanon on Monday, 30th October 2023

Two truck drivers died Monday night after their semitrailers crashed head-on and caught fire west of Lebanon.

At 8:10 p.m., Boone County sheriff’s deputies were called to a “semi explosion” in the area of County Road 700 West and State Road 32. That’s just outside Western Boone Jr.-Sr. High School, about eight miles west of Lebanon.

“Upon arrival, deputies located two semis involved in a head-on collision on fire. On-scene fire departments put out the fire and both drivers of each tractor-trailer were found to be deceased,” Detective Morganne T. Carpenter said in a release.

The names of the drivers will not be released until their families have been notified.

The sheriff’s department is still looking into the cause of the crash.
