We heard sirens this morning as we tried to stretch our sleep time as long as we could.
Turns out it was emergency personnel responding to a fatal car crash east of town.
Here's the sheriff's department report and photo:
At 8:43 this morning, the County Communications Center received a call about a car into a tree with the driver lying next to it, on Ind. 47 west of I-65. The caller then advised the vehicle was on fire. Deputies responded with Fire, Medics and State Police.
A white male was driving a 2002 Pontiac when for an unknown reason, his vehicle left the north side of 47 and struck a tree. The driver was ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames.
The driver was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries. At this time, the driver has been identified by a former pastor, however, family members have not been notified. The crash is still under investigation. He was from North Carolina and, therefore, nobody we knew.
