An early morning crash Sept. 8 on I-69 northbound claimed one 23-year-old Fishers man’s life and sent two others to the hospital with minor injuries.
Emergency crews responded at 4:40 a.m. to I-69 northbound just south of 96th street to find three semi-tractor trailers and three passenger vehicles involved in a chain reaction crash. Jaspreet Darar, a driver of one of the passenger vehicles, was pronounced dead on scene.
The investigation of that crash was still ongoing as of press time.
After the crash, construction crews temporarily closed northbound lanes of I-69 to set a beam across 106th Street. During the closure, there was a separate crash on I-69 northbound north of 96th street where both vehicles caught fire. Investigation of that crash showed 23-year-old Morgan Thomas of Indianapolis rear-ended a 36-foot box truck. Although both vehicles caught fire, there were no reported injuries.
