(HINDUSTAN) - An Indianapolis man was killed Saturday night in an accident near Crossover Road on State Road 37 north of Bloomington.

The accident happened just before 10 p.m.

According to an Indiana State Police report, for reasons still unknown, a northbound 1965 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by 33-year-old Joseph T. Birtchman of Indianapolis crossed the median and continued into the southbound lanes, striking an oncoming mini van.
