INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Johnson County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to 9175 Shelbyville Rd., on Monday morning, regarding a personal injury accident with a male subject lying in the roadway. Law enforcement and medics found that the man had severe head trauma and road rash on his legs and arms. Medical personnel on the scene reported that he was not conscious, but it did not appear that he had been run over. He was later transported to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Deputies also observed a Republic Trash truck in the yard nearby. According to officers, the truck did not appear to have struck anything but did come to a stop when it sank into the soft ground. There were no witnesses to the accident, but the sheriff’s department is investigating the possibility that the male subject fell out of the truck and landed in the roadway, while the truck continued into the yard off the street.
