NOBLESVILLE MAN DIES AFTER CAR CRASH IN INDIANA'S HAMILTON COUNTY

| Share

A Noblesville man is dead after an Auto Accident in Hamilton County which is north of Indianapolis. Noblesville police officers say the victim is 50-year old Robert Milligan. The car crash happened on East 191st Street in Noblesville early Tuesday morning.

As reported by www.WTHR.com in the article, "Police Investigate Deadly Wreck in Noblesville," Milligan apparently struck a tree after his car went off the road. Indiana investigators are looking into this auto collision and say speed might be to blame.

Noblesville authorities put the time of the car crash at about 12:10am on Tuesday. That actually appears to be one of the least likely times on a Tuesday to be involved in a deadly auto accident. As compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2009, there were 270 deadly vehicle crashes in the country on Tuesdays between Midnight and 2:59am. Only 3am-5:59am saw fewer deadly vehicle collisions.

| Share

A truck traveling in the northbound lane of Indiana State Road 37 crossed the center line and into the path of a semi-tractor hauling a tanker trailer near Newton Avenue just north of Strawtown. The impact also entangled a Mercedes Benz; however, police were not yet sure how the vehicle got involved. The three-vehicle crash forced the shut-down of traffic flowing on the Northern Hamilton County stretch of Indiana State Road 37 this morning.

The driver of the pick-up truck was taken to Methodist Hospital via helicopter; however, his condition wasn't believed to be life threatening. Authorities reported that the other two drivers were uninjured.

THE WHITE RIVER REACHES FLOOD STAGE IN NOBLESVILLE, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA

| Share

Rainfall and melting snow caused the White River in Noblesville,1149303_water_reflections.jpg Hamilton County, Indiana, to reach flood stage this week. Officials believe the river should crest and fall below flood stage in Noblesville by Saturday.

Although most roads in Hamilton County were able to remain clear of the flood waters, the White River continued to shows signs of rising. The Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency reported that the White River should crest at just shy of 17 ft., which would be just about 3 ft. above designated flood levels.

DEADLY CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 69 IN FISHERS, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA, CLAIMS THE LIFE OF A THIRD VICTIM AND FORCES MULTIPLE HOSPITALIZATIONS

| Share

A third victim is now reported to have been killed by one of Hamilton County's worst traffic accidents on record. The deadly pile-up, which involved at least 32 vehicles, including 9 semi trucks and a firetruck, occurred around 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. Witnesses reported that a firetruck, which had been helping a slide-off victim, was struck from behind, which in turn lead to a deadly chain of events where cars and trucks alike began piling up on a stretch of Interstate 69 in Fishers, Indiana, which sits adjacent to the Fishers High School in Hamilton County. The National Weather Service reported heavy snowfall that hit Central Indiana (about 3.8 in. in total) just as the morning commute was peaking. Dozens of other accidents were reported throughout the morning in that area and stretching up to Anderson. Indiana State Police blamed most of the crashes on people driving too fast and following other cars too closely in the poor winter weather conditions.

First reports identified two men in a heavy-duty commercial pick-up truck, Dustin R. Goettman, 27, and Ryan A. Phillips, 28, both of Anderson, as having been killed. Later Tuesday evening, police confirmed that a third victim of the accident, which had initially been listed as critical, had succumbed to their injuries.

Travel in the area remained dangerous for most of the day, and a large portion of Interstate 69 remained closed while investigation into the accident continued. Witnesses reported that the fatal pileup began when a southbound car on I-69 slid off the road, and a semi and a fire truck pulled over to help. As the morning commute traffic began stacking in the area, vehicles were unable to slow down and began slamming into one another. Shortly after the first impact, a semi truck reportedly slid sideways and struck several vehicles. By the time the vehicles and impacts slowed down, the motor vehicles involved included 22 passenger vehicles, nine semi trucks and a firetruck.

MULTI CAR PILE-UP NEAR FISHERS, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA CAUSES SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MULITIPLE INJURIES AND FATALITIES AND FORCES I-69 TO BE SHUTDOWN

| Share

Indiana State Police were forced to shut down both directions of nearly 45 miles of Interstate 69 from Fishers in Hamilton County to the Alexandria exit after over 30 cars and semi-tractors were involved in numerous accidents Tuesday, including a deadly chain reaction pile-up in Fishers, Indiana. DOT%20Picture.jpgState police reported that twenty-eight cars and five semi trucks were involved in a chain reaction collision. Two people riding in a semi truck were killed and one person was critically injured. Ten others were taken to nearby hospitals, and police reported multiple entrapments with injuries.

Indiana State Police are blaming weather conditions, speed and drivers following too closely for the deadly chain of events. Police believe the accident started when two vehicles struck a firetruck that was assisting a stranded motorist on the roadside. Those firefighters were not among the reported injured. The accident's initiation point was very close to Fishers High School in Hamilton County, Indiana.

Three of the injured were removed on stretchers. Other witnesses and some of the injured were being taken to Fishers High School to be interviewed and/or treated for minor injuries. Several motorists remained entrapped for over an hour after the accident was first reported. There was also at least one fuel spill from one of the vehicles. Haz-Mat teams were dispatched to assist in clean-up.

Further north on I-69 in Madison County, multiple accidents and pileups were being reported with no resulting serious injuries or fatalities. The accidents involved a stretch of the Interstate from Pendleton to near Ind. 236 east of Anderson.

The sudden snow accumulation that hit the Indianapolis area Tuesday Morning prompted the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for the southeastern quarter of Indiana. They reported approximately 3.7 inches of snow fell at Indianapolis International Airport in about three hours before 10:00 am.
