At 3:54 p.m. on Thursday, Indiana State Troopers along with other first responders were called to the scene of a serious crash in the southbound lanes of Interstate 69 just north of 96th Street.
911 callers reported that a motorcycle had hit the back of a truck and the occupants were lying in the roadway. When first responders arrived, they found two adults severely injured, and one of them was unconscious. Lifesaving emergency medical aid was given, and the two victims were transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
A preliminary investigation at the scene determined a white pickup truck had slowed to a stop due to stopping traffic, and a motorcycle crashed into the back of the truck, ejecting both occupants off the motorcycle onto the roadway. Both were wearing helmets. The driver of the truck was not injured.
The crash caused several lanes of I-69 to be closed for approximately three hours during the investigation.
The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Fishers Police Department, the Fishers Fire Department and INDOT.
