At approximately 8:33 a.m. Sunday, the Lebanon Police Department, Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police, Lebanon Fire Department, Whitestown Fire Department, and Boone County EMS were dispatched to collision on Interstate 65 northbound at the 138 mile-marker exit ramp.

The initial investigation indicates that the vehicle was being driven by 40-year old Francis Craig of Indianapolis.
