Fatal accident on U.S. 41 near Springhill Dr. remains under investigation

Feb. 2—One person has died and another was seriously injured Thursday afternoon after a crash involving a semi and passenger vehicle on U.S. 41 just north of the intersection with Springhill Drive, according to Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse.

A fatal crash team was called out to do accident reconstruction, and northbound U.S. 41 was closed from Springhill Drive to Sam's Club during that time.

The two individuals in the passenger vehicle were entrapped and had to be extricated by fire department emergency responders. The injured person in the passenger vehicle was to be airlifted to an Indianapolis hospital, Plasse said.
