INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two Indiana State Police troopers were injured after a semi crashed into their patrol car during a crash investigation on Interstate 65 Tuesday afternoon.
Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine confirmed the accident to News 8.
Online police reports show that emergency crews were called to I-65 southbound near the 116-mile marker around 12:39 p.m. on a report of an accident with injuries.
Perrine said in a post on X that the two troopers were investigating a crash at the same location when a semitrailer crashed into their patrol car.
Both troopers were being taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.
