VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Update: State Road 42 has since been reopened to traffic.

One person has been flown to Indianapolis for treatment of injuries following a crash involving an overturned semi truck near the county line.

The crash occurred Monday morning on State Road 42 near the Vigo and Clay county line.

According to the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office, when first responders arrived on scene both the driver and passenger of the truck were out of the vehicle. The passenger had a severe cut on her arm and hand and was flown to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment

The driver, a 30-year-old from Mississippi, told deputies that they had been headed eastbound on S. R. 42 when a vehicle headed in the opposing direction began to drift into the oncoming lane. The driver reportedly tried to move over to give the vehicle space, which caused the flatbed trailer to go into the ditch causing the load to shift and the driver to lose control of the semi which then rolled over.

The crash left numerous large wooden planks scattered across the road.

Investigating deputies said drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash and no citations had been issued.

As of 9:45 a.m. Vigo County Central Dispatch confirmed the roadway was still shut down as crews continued to clean up the scene. Drivers are asked to avoid the area.
