INTERSTATE 70 IN INDIANA'S HANCOCK COUNTY IS SCENE OF SEMI TRUCK CRASH RESULTING IN INJURIES
Two drivers on Indiana's Interstate 70 in Hancock County were hurt after a Vehicle Crash. The Auto Accident involved a Semi Truck and a Car and happened in Greenfield early Thursday morning. Greenfield is about 30 minutes west of downtown Indianapolis.
An article on www.wishtv.com entitled, "Overturned Truck Closes I-70 in Hancock County," reports a female driver was going west on United State Interstate 70 when she moved the steering wheel suddenly as she attempted to not hit a deer. However, the woman did strike the deer. In the process, a tractor trailer behind the woman also swerved. This caused the truck driver to lose control, and the semi fell over and lost its load. Both drivers in this auto collision were hurt. The woman was seeking treatment for her injuries at Indianapolis's Methodist Hospital while the tractor trailer driver was at Hancock Regional Hospital.
It is not yet known if the semi truck driver suffered any Work Comp injuries. Workers' Compensation injuries refer to those an employee sustains while on the job. Many work comp injuries do happen in the transportation field. The Indiana Department of Labor examines various workplaces and looks at the dangers each poses as it works to improve safety. When examining the transportation and warehousing industry (the Department of Labor groups them together), the Indiana Department of Labor found on average, hurt workers in this field missed 23 days of work in 2009. That's the highest of any other Indiana industry and 11 days more than in 2008.
