Just after 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, a southbound Ford passenger vehicle approaching Bryants Creek Road collided head on with a northbound 2007 International semitruck inside the State Road 37/Interstate 69 construction zone.
Ryan R. Dixon of Bloomington, 29, was initially trapped inside his vehicle. He was rescued by emergency crews at the scene and transported to IU Health Bloomington for treatment.
SR 37 is now open at Sample and Bryants Creek roads following a two-hour closing of both the north- and southbound lanes due to the crash.
Dixon’s Ford drove left of center and failed to negotiate the right-hand curve in his path.
The driver of the semitruck, Steven Levine, 58, of Bloomington, was not injured.
This crash, in addition to Friday’s multi-car crash, was cited in Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton’s speech asking state officials to intervene and quicken the I-69 construction project.
