THORNTOWN, Ind. — I-65 in Boone County re-opened late Monday morning, 12 hours after a crash that killed a man.
Deputy Wesley Garst with the Boone County Sheriff’s Office says four semis and a car were involved in the crash on 65 Southbound near the State Road 47 exit in Thorntown. Investigators believe traffic was slow or stopped in the area because of construction, but a semi driven by 30-year-old Trever Perkins of Indianapolis did not stop, slamming into the line of traffic.
Debris, including cans of Reddi-Wip, was scattered all over the interstate.
Perkins was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was seriously injured.
