SULLIVAN COUNTY - One person is dead after crashing a car into the back of a semi truck in Sullivan County Monday afternoon.

Sgt. Matt Ames, of the Indiana State Police,  explained that the victim's name is expected to be released following a scheduled autopsy Tuesday morning.

Emergency crews responded to the crash on US 41, north of SR 48, around 1:30 p.m., where the driver of a ​2014 Chevrolet was dead at the scene.

According to the report, Thomas E.
