INDIANAPOLIS — State police are investigating a deadly incident on Indianapolis' south side early Thursday morning.
Shortly after 2 a.m. on July 27, Indiana State Police troopers responded to the area of Interstate 465 eastbound, east of State Road 37.
ISP claims a dump truck rolled over a man who was working underneath it.
According to police, the dump truck had become disabled on the side of I-465 eastbound. A mechanic arrived to help and was working on the truck when it began to roll. The mechanic was trapped as the rear tandem wheels rolled over him.
ISP said there were no other vehicles involved in the incident, and it is still under investigation.
The mechanic who was killed was identified as 23-year-old Lane S. Grant, of Greenville.
The right two lanes of eastbound I-465 were closed in the area early Thursday while troopers investigated the incident but opened about four hours later.
(NOTE: State police originally said the crash involved a semi but later clarified it was a dump truck.)
