The Putnam County Coroner’s Office has identified the deceased individual that was involved in a fatal accident on Interstate 70.
Dominic Michael Woodfield, 56, of Joppa, Maryland, was the driver of the semi tractor-trailer just before 8:30 am on July 3. Troopers with the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post responded to investigate the crash.
A 2001 Volvo semi tractor-trailer was traveling westbound on Interstate 70 when, for an undetermined reason, the driver lost control of the semi and struck a guardrail. The impact from the accident caused the semi to flip over and catch on fire. There were no passengers in the semi.
Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a contributing factor of the accident.
