LOUISVILLE, KY : Crothersville police officer recovering slowly one week after wreck on I-65 on Friday, 14th August, 2020

A Crothersville police officer remains in critical condition a week after he was involved in a crash on Interstate 65.
Early on Aug. 14, Michael Weiler was airlifted to a hospital in Indianapolis after Indiana State Police Sgt. Stephen Wheeles said a semi-truck hit Weiler’s police vehicle.
Seven days later, Weiler’s sister Kimberly McKinley said she remembers getting the call.
“My sister-in-law called me fairly early in the morning, which is something that’s unusual,” McKinley said. “And then she told me he had been in an accident and it was not good.”
Weiler’s squad car was a mangled mess on the side of the interstate, as first responders extricated him from the vehicle.
McKinley said her brother was badly injured.
“(He suffered) a small brain bleed, a severe concussion, five fractures in his spine, all but two ribs broken ... shattered, (and) a punctured lung,” McKinley said.
