Car accident on I-65 kills
Purdue freshman
A Purdue student was killed Wednesday in a car
accident on Interstate 65 in Clinton County.
According to a press release by the Indiana State
Police, Ross Eiler, 18, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., was killed when the car
he was driving crossed the median into the path of a southbound tractor-trailer.
Eiler, a freshman in the Schools of Engineering,
died after suffering massive internal injuries. The driver of the tractor-trailer,
David Richardson, 48, of Indianapolis, suffered minor injuries and was
transported to Witham Hospital in Lebanon, Ind.
"I was very sorry to hear the news (of Eiler’s
death). It’s always a tragedy when we lose one of our students.
My thoughts go out to his family," said Joe Bennett, vice president
of University relations.
The investigation is ongoing and the Indiana State
Police are reconstructing the crash. It was unknown whether Eiler was
wearing his seat belt.
