Truck Driver Faces Criminal Charges in Fatal Indianapolis Crash
Posted on Dec 17, 2010
December 17, 2010 - Indianapolis, Ind. - As reported by the news website WNDU.com, a South Bend truck driver has been charged with criminal recklessness after he allegedly caused a fatal truck accident.
The charges came after Tarrance Lee, 47, ran a red light while driving his semi-trailer truck in Indianapolis. The tractor trailer truck then collided with a van that was being driven by David Clouser, 65, of Carmel.
The fatal truck accident happened at 236th Street and US 31. According to a report by Hamilton County Police, Clouser was instantly killed in the collision. Two other passengers in Clouser's van had to be extricated from the vehicle, and both were taken to the hospital to be treated for accident injuries.
After the fatal truck crash, authorities said Lee refused to take a breathalyzer test, and was subsequently arrested. He has been charged with criminal recklessness causing death, as well as providing false information.
According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were a total of 1,122 vehicles involved in fatal accidents in Indiana in 2008. Of those vehicles, 128 were large trucks, such as semi-trucks and tractor trailers.
