Seymour-This morning, shortly before 9:00 am, the Indiana State Police responded to a single vehicle personal injury crash southbound near the 52 mile marker in Jackson County that sent the driver to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment for her injuries.
The initial investigation by Trooper Seth Davidson indicates that Haley R. Weeden, age 19, Salem, Indiana was operating a 2007 Ford Escape southbound on I-65 near the 52 mile marker when her vehicle entered the median of the interstate. Weeden’s vehicle then re-entered and crossed the southbound lanes of travel before leaving the roadway and rolling multiple times before coming to a stop.
Weeden was flown from the scene to University of Louisville Hospital by Stat Flight Helicopter for treatment of her injuries. Weeden’s injuries are believed to be non-life threatening. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be factors in this crash.
According to Trp. Davidson, “This crash is a prime example of how seatbelts undoubtedly save lives”.
The southbound lanes of I-65 were closed for approximately 30 minutes due to Stat Flight landing on the interstate.
Trp. Davidson and Trp. Ed Olibo were assisted at the scene by the Indiana State Excise Police, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Jackson County EMS, and 31 Wrecker.
