Driver Killed In Morning Commute - Winter Conditions Contribute To Fatal Crash

Last updated on Tuesday, February 17, 2015

(CLARK CO.) - This morning just before 8 a.m. Troopers from the Indiana State Police Post in Sellersburg were called to a single vehicle crash on northbound I-65 near the ten mile-marker just north of Sellersburg.

When Master Trooper Tim Barclay arrived he found a pickup truck, approximately 12 feet off the east side of the roadway. The vehicle was heavily damaged after striking a tree.

It is unknown at this time why the vehicle left the roadway; however, indications at the crash scene indicate that the vehicle was traveling too fast for the current road conditions.

The driver, 64-year-old Dennis M. Davis of Clarksville, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Clark County Coroner. The driver was the only occupant of the vehicle and was not wearing a seatbelt. The driver's information is not being released at this time pending family notification.

Troopers were assisted by INDOT Hoosier Helpers, and officers from the Sellersburg Fire Department, Sellersburg EMS and the Clark County Coroner's Office.
