CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. — A teenager was killed in a crash Friday night near Crawfordsville.
Deputies were called to a crash between a car and a semi-truck just before 8 p.m. on State Road 32 near Interstate 74 east of Crawfordsville.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, 16-year-old Van Johnson was driving a Buick LaCrosse east on S.R. 32 when he crossed the centerline and hit a semi-truck that was traveling in the opposite direction.
Investigators said it's unclear why Johnson, a student at Southmont High School, crossed the centerline. They noted that at the time of the crash, the road was covered in snow and slush.
When deputies arrived at the crash scene, they found the Johnson's Buick LaCrosse off the roadway in a ditch and the semi-truck was stopped along the road.
The semi-truck driver had complaints of pain and was later evaluated at Franciscan Hospital in Crawfordsville.
There were no passengers in either vehicle and no other injuries were reported.
The sheriff's office said the crash remains under investigation.
