A 55-year-old Franklin man died Thursday afternoon in an I-70 crash in which his car ended up under a semi, Indiana State Police say.
Randall Wilson was found entrapped and unconscious in his Hyundai wedged underneath the back of a semi around 5:30 p.m. on the westbound side of the interstate near Harding Street. Emergency crews pronounced him dead at the scene.
The driver of the semi was taken to a hospital with what police described as minor injuries.
Police say the semi driver pulled over to the right shoulder and stopped because of mechanical issues. Wilson’s Hyundai, police said, came onto the same shoulder “for unknown reasons” and hit the rear of the semi.
