Indiana State Police are investigating a crash on I-69 Thursday afternoon.  It happened just after 2:30pm in the northbound lanes, roughly 2 miles north of 116th Street.  The victim,  described only as an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a heavily damaged vehicle located in the ditch along the right side of the highway. Troopers say their investigation shows the driver of the vehicle apparently drove off the roadway to the right for unknown reasons, the vehicle then struck the end of a guardrail and overturned. It does not appear the driver was wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle.   The right two lanes of I-69 were closed until 5:45 p.m., resulting in significant traffic delays. No one else was in the vehicle.
