A 2007 Sterling commercial truck broke down in the center lane following an equipment failure when a 2021 Subaru Ascent driven by 54-year-old Michael W. Stevenson struck the right rear of the flatbed trailer. The impact forced the SUV off the right side of the interstate into a ravine.
Stevenson was pronounced dead at the scene, the patrol said. There were no other occupants in the SUV, which had an Illinois license plate.
The driver of the truck, Corey D. Hill, 40, of Marion, was treated for minor injuries.
The Harmony Twp. Fire Department responded to the crash, and the Clark County Coroner’s Office was requested to the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by the highway patrol.
