Police say a crash on I-69 near the State Road 5 exit in Huntington County killed a Greenwood, Indiana woman this morning. According to a news release from Indiana State Police, 30-year-old Beth Hutt died in the crash. Hutt was driving a car that was southbound on the Interstate when another southbound car struck Hutt’s car and left the scene. That crash disabled Hutt’s car and left it partially in the driving lane. A short time later, a semi truck struck Hutt’s car when the trucker failed to see it in time.
