INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD believes a medial issue was a significant factor in a crash that seriously injured a wrong-way driver on Interstate 65 Monday night.

Shortly before 9 p.m. on June 20, IMPD officers saw a truck traveling at a high speed southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 65, near Southport Road, on Indianapolis' south side.

The truck eventually crashed into the guardrail south of Southport Road, causing serious injury to the driver. 

An IMPD officer applied a tourniquet to the driver's leg, and they were transported to a local hospital.

Indiana State Police is investigating at least two other crashes believed to be connected to the incident, IMPD said.
