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.
