A Hendricks County man was killed in a Friday morning collsion.

Hendricks County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to investigate a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of County Road 500N and State Road 39, just south of Lizton.  At that location, deputies encountered a post-collision scene involving a Chevrolet pickup truck and a large commercial waste vehicle. 

The preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of the pickup truck was traveling westbound on County Road 500 N approaching the intersection of State Road 39 when, for an unknown reason, he disregarded the stop sign for westbound traffic and was subsequently struck by the southbound commercial vehicle. 

The driver of the pickup truck, a 25-year-old man from North Salem, was pronounced dead at the scene.  The driver of the commercial vehicle was transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.   

The intersection was completely closed for about three hours while officers and reconstruction specialists conducted their on-scene portion of the investigation.  The roadways are fully reopened at the time of this release.  

Drugs and alcohol are not currently suspected as a primary contributing factor in this crash investigation.
