Deadly Crash On The Turnpike

An Ohio man is killed…when his truck rear-ends a semi on the Indiana Toll Road in LaGrange County, near the 125 mile marker, four miles east of the S.R. 9 interchange. There, a Mack truck and a Kenworth smash into each other. Officials say Herbert Meade, 67, of Olmstead Township, was headed east…when he failed to slow for stopped traffic and rear ended the Kenworth…driven by Michael Ashley. Officials confirm…Meade was following too closely before the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Ashley was not hurt. The investigation into the accident continues by both state and local officials.
