Indiana State Police said troopers from the Bloomington District responded to a head-on crash on Interstate 69 northbound near the Sample Road interchange, north of Bloomington, around 6 a.m. Oct. 25.
According to the preliminary investigation, ISP said Johnathan Clark, 33, of Nashville, was driving a 2016 blue Jeep Wrangler southbound in the northbound lane of I-69 when he hit a 2011 blue GMC Sierra pickup truck that was heading northbound on I-69.
