Two people were hospitalized after a two-vehicle crash Tuesday morning on State Road 46 East near County Road 300 North.

Sheriff Matt Myers says that Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the crash, involving a car and a semi, at 9:20 a.m. While deputies were in route, they learned that one of the drivers was trapped in their vehicle. Myers says that she was ultimately pulled to safety by a passing driver before authorities arrived.

Sheriff Myers says that the investigation revealed that 33-year-old Brandon Murphy, of Dayton, OH, was eastbound on State Road 46 when he lost control of his semi on wet pavement and crossed into the westbound lane. He says that Murphy’s semi jack-knifed and went off the road. This reportedly caused 42-year-old April Johnson, of Greensburg, to crash into a ditch. Johnson was headed west on State Road 46 when the incident occurred. Myers says that both vehicles collided in the ditch, causing the semi’s trailer to become unhitched. The trailer then caught fire. Authorities say that fire crews spent

approximately one hour fighting the blaze, which caused the eastbound lane of State Road 46 to be shut down for several hours.

Johnson was flown to an Indianapolis hospital for unknown injuries. Murphy was taken to Columbus Regional Health with abdominal pain.
