ONE MAN IS KILLED AND ANOTHER HURT IN SOUTHERN INDIANA SEMI TRUCK CRASH
Southern Indiana was the site of a deadly Semi Truck Accident early Wednesday morning. The fatal Auto Collision happened on United States Interstate 64 in Crawford County, Indiana. 51 year old James Loper was killed and 36-year old Eddie Goodine was hurt. Vehicle highway accidents often lead to Workers Compensation issues which we'll examine in a moment.
In this recent highway vehicle accident, Indiana State Police report the victims were in a Fedex Semi Truck that veered off the highway and hit an overpass. It is not yet clear which victim was driving the vehicle. No other vehicles were involved in the fatal accident. Goodine is apparently in stable condition at a local Kentucky hospital.
As mentioned earlier, auto accidents on highways can result in Worker's Compensation benefits. The driver or passenger, of course, must have been hurt or killed in the collision and on the job when the crash happened. The Indiana Department of Labor found that in 2009, 25 Indiana workers were killed because of a highway crash. That made highway vehicle crashes the leading cause of death in the workplace.
