News Writer Indiana Central News One woman was hospitalized following a crash with a semi on Interstate 70 in Vigo County Wednesday evening. Karen A. Jarman, 55, of Gas City, Indiana, was extracted from her vehicle and transported by LifeLine helicopter to an Indianapolis hospital. Her injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening. Truck driver, Saad Yasir-Abood Al-Janaby, 58, of Dearborn, Michigan, was not injured in the accident. Emergency crews responded to the crash involving the semi tractor-trailer and a 1999 Toyota passenger vehicle on Interstate 70 westbound, near the 10-mile marker, just before 7:30 p.m. Indiana State Police Sgt. Matt Ames explained that the truck driver was experiencing mechanical issues at the time. He had parked his 2013 Volvo semi tractor-trailer in the emergency lane on I- 70 and had emergency lights activated, when the accident occurred. Jarman was westbound, failing to see Al-Janaby’s disabled semi. She crashed into the semi’s rear bumper, before striking a guard rail and flipping over, Ames said. |
