Fatal accident Friday in Putnam Co.

According to the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post, an accident Friday morning claimed the life of an Indiana resident. 

 

Just after 10:30 a.m.,  police and emergency responders were dispatched to I-70 eastbound, near the 45 mile marker to investigate a single car accident. 

 

Upon arrival, Trooper Brad Fyfe noted a 2023 Dodge truck driven by Michael W. Frazier, 64, of Spencer, was traveling westbound on I-70 when he lost control of the truck, traveled into the median and struck an earth embankment, causing the truck to roll. 

 

The vehicle came to a rest right side up. Fyfe and an off-duty Vigo County Deputy administered lifesaving first aid, but Frazier was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Putnam County Coroner's office.

 

Police do not believe alcohol and drugs played a role in the accident. 

 

Responding agencies included the Putnam County Coroner's Office, Cloverdale Police, Vigo County Sheriff's Department, Cloverdale Volunteer Fire Department, Indiana State Police and Seniour's Towing.
