DECATUR COUNTY, Indiana — State Police say an Indianapolis man was killed Saturday in a crash between two semi trucks on Interstate 74 near Greensburg.
Kevin J. Porter II, 37, was driving an International box truck westbound on the highway around 11:25 a.m. when police say he failed to stop for slowed traffic and crashed into the rear end of a tanker truck that was stopped in a traffic backup.
The tanker, driven by Jason M. Cranfill, 41, of Seymour had stopped in the right lane near the 135.5 mile marker due to two separate crashes that had occurred in the area.
Porter was taken to Decatur County Memorial Hospital in Greensburg for treatment, but passed away there.
Cranfill sustained minor injuries.
Toxicology results are pending, and a police investigation is ongoing.
The westbound lanes of I-74 were closed for approximately three hours for crash investigation and cleanup.
