Anderson, IN — A worker with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) was injured late last week after his dump truck was hit by a semi-truck. This happened along I-69 in rural Anderson, police said, and the INDOT worker was later identified as Joshua Stone, 29 years old.
It’s not quite clear where this took place, but police claimed it was in the southbound lanes of I-69 near mile marker 239.
Joshua Stone was driving a dump truck for INDOT and was at a worksite where a road crew was working. This was around 1:30 p.m. last Friday afternoon, February 6, 2015. A semi-truck being driven by Thomas Rives then came upon the scene and failed to brake in time for the construction zone.
Rives apparently swerved his semi-truck from the southbound lanes onto the shoulder of I-69, where he crashed into Stone’s dump truck. The impact caused Stone’s dump truck to overturn and he was injured and had to be taken to a hospital. His condition was not serious.
The semi-truck driver, Thomas Rives, was not injured, but was facing charges for Failure to Yield to an Emergency Vehicle, the State Police said.
