COLUMBUS, Ind. — A 60-year-old man died Wednesday afternoon in a tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 65.
At approximately 4:15 p.m., a 2020 Volvo tractor-trailer veered off northbound Interstate 65, about a mile north of the U.S. 31 exit in Bartholomew County, according to Indiana State Police. The vehicle struck a guardrail, exited the roadway, and ultimately came to rest among trees.
Emergency responders found the driver, Anthony Bull of Charlotte, North Carolina, unresponsive in the cab. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bartholomew County Coroner's Office.
Police continue to investigate the incident but do not believe any other vehicles were involved. A medical episode may have contributed to the crash.
The northbound lanes of Interstate 65 experienced closures for over three hours due to the investigation and cleanup.
Assisting agencies included Troopers from the Versailles post, Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department, North Carolina Highway Patrol, Columbus Regional EMS, Columbus Township Fire Department, German Township Fire Department, Indiana Department of Transportation, and 31 Wrecker Service.
