According to Indiana State Police Master Trooper Tommy Walker, around 8:32 AM a red 2002 Dodge Durango driven by Joshua Reed 25, of Seymour was traveling south on US 31 near CR 1000 N when it went across the center lines and struck a brown 1999 Chevy Silverado pick-up truck driven by Mike Hatfield 57, of Seymour. The Dodge Durango continued southbound in the northbound lane where it struck head-on a white 2007 International tractor-trailer that was driven by Curtiss Luenebrink 52, of Seymour.
