PERRY COUNTY, Ind. — A tragic accident on SR 37 in Perry County has left one person dead after a collision between a truck and a semi-truck. The incident occurred around 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday, just north of Alamo Road.
First responders were quickly on the scene following the crash, which prompted the closure of SR 37 in both directions for several hours. The Indiana State Police were called in to reconstruct the accident, and authorities worked diligently to piece together the events surrounding the crash.
The driver of the semi-truck, though shaken by the collision, was fortunate to escape without injuries. However, the identity of the truck driver has not been released at this time as officials continue their investigation.
The Perry County Sheriff’s Office has yet to disclose further details, including the cause of the collision. As of now, the investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are asking for the public’s patience while they gather all necessary information.
The closure of SR 37 disrupted traffic for several hours, but the road was eventually reopened once the scene was cleared. Local law enforcement continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragic crash.
