NOBLESVILLE -- Two semitrailer drivers who witnessed a fiery crash on southbound 1-69 this afternoon pulled the driver of a box truck to safety.
Noblesville Fire Division Chief Rick Russell said in an e-mail that when fire crews found that a semi with a piece of heavy equipment on the back was rear-ended by a box truck.
The driver of the box truck was pulled to safety by semi drivers Leo Clapham of Flat Rock, Mich., and Darrel Allen from Indianapolis.
Southbound I-69 is shut down after the 11-mile marker because of the crash.
Russell reports that the 35-year-old box truck driver has second- and third-degree burns. An air ambulance has been called to transport him to the hospital.
Fishers Police Sgt. Gerry Hepp said the accident happened around 3:15 p.m. He said police also may shut down the interstate south of Ind. 13 near the 13- and 14-mile markers.
