Troopers from the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post responded to an accident Thursday morning involving a semi tractor-trailer and two other vehicles on eastbound Interstate 70 near the sixteen-mile marker. The preliminary crash investigation revealed that Corey R. Yund, 34, of Crawfordsville, was driving a 2020 Ford truck westbound on Interstate 70 and suddenly reduced his speed to make an illegal U-turn at the interstate turnaround. This is when Tyler A. Nusbaumer, 21, of Indianapolis, driving a 2017 Dodge truck, struck Yund in the rear. This collision forced Yund’s truck to travel south into the median then into the eastbound driving lane of Interstate 70. Yund was then struck by a 2021 Freightliner semi tractor-trailer being driven by Haiguang Zhong, 42, of Rosemead, California. This collision forced Yund’s truck back into the median, where it eventually stopped, facing east. Zhong’s tractor-trailer traveled off the south side of Interstate 70 coming to a stop. First responders extracted Yund from the vehicle and he was transported by ambulance to a local hospital. There were no other injuries reported. Assistance at the crash scene by was provided by several troopers of the Putnamville Post, Riley Fire Department, Trans Care, and Edington’s Wrecker Service Yund was cited for making an illegal U-turn.
