0SHARESShareTweetMatthew Campbell Obituary, Death Cause – A somber incident occurred on Tuesday morning, claiming the life of Matthew Shannon Campbell, a 55-year-old resident of Austin, Indiana, in a three-vehicle crash on I-65 North near Henryville. Around 1:45 a.m., emergency responders rushed to the scene of a devastating accident. Tragically, Matthew Shannon Campbell was found deceased at the scene.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a white Dodge pickup truck, towing a flatbed trailer loaded with large A/C units, was traveling northbound on I-65. Unfortunately, one of the A/C units fell off the trailer near the 21-mile marker. Campbell, who was driving a Chevy Malibu on I-65 North, collided with the fallen A/C unit before the driver of the pickup truck could clear it from the roadway, according to a statement from the Indiana State Police. Shortly thereafter, a UPS semi-truck made a lane change in an attempt to avoid colliding with the Malibu just as Campbell was exiting his vehicle. Tragically, he was struck and fatally injured by the semi-truck.
Indiana State Police are actively investigating this tragic crash. The incident led to the closure of all lanes on I-65 North near the Henryville exit for several hours, with the interstate eventually reopening at around 7 a.m. Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Matthew Shannon Campbell as they grapple with this sudden and devastating loss. As the investigation proceeds, we hope for answers and clarity to emerge, and for the community to come together in support of those affected by this tragic accident.
