Toll Road Crash Kills Eight

Eight people died in a crash on the Indiana Toll Road near Bristol yesterday. Police say traffic was stopped near a construction zone because of a previous accident when a semi truck slammed into the stopped vehicles without even slowing down. The semi crushed a pickup truck and an S-U-V beyond recognition. Five people in the pickup truck died. They were members of LaGrange County’s Amish community. Two New Hampshire residents in the S-U-V died, as did a Michigan man who was in a third vehicle. Police will let the prosecutor decide whether to charge the 31-year-old Illinois trucker whose inattention apparently caused the crash.
