Quaduple Fatal on Toll Road Results in Arrest

Four people are dead this morning and a semi truck driver faces four counts of reckless homicide, after a chain reaction crash on the Indiana Toll Road yesterday. It happened at about 4:45 yesterday afternoon near the State Road 15 exit in Elkhart County. State Police say traffic had slowed for a lane closure in a construction area, but the semi truck didn't slow down and slammed into the back of a car. That set off a series of rear-end crashes that involved five passenger vehicles. The collisions killed four people and injured another seven. The people who died were from Michigan, Ohio and California. The trucker is from Pennsylvania. The crash forced police to close the eastbound lanes of the toll road and divert traffic onto a two-lane state highway for several hours.
