TIPPECANOE CO., Ind. (WLFI) – State police are
investigating after a man flips his pickup truck on State Road 43 Monday
afternoon.
It happened around 4:50 p.m. in the southbound lanes on
S.R. 43 on the hill about a half mile north of the Indiana State Police Post. Troopers
say the driver was in the middle turn lane, which was covered with winter
slush. He then lost control and flipped the truck in the ditch.
Troopers could not confirm if the driver was ejected,
but say he was standing outside the truck when they arrived on scene. He had
some scratches and was taken to IU Health Arnett Hospital to be checked out.
The southbound lanes of S.R. 43 were closed for about 20
minutes. One lane remained closed for another half an hour while crews worked
to remove the pickup from the ditch.
