(Bartholomew County, IN) – Troopers from the Indiana State Police Versailles Post responded to a single vehicle crash on I-65 in northern Bartholomew County late Sunday night that resulted in the death of the 35-year-old driver.
At approximately 10:30 pm, emergency personnel responded to I-65 Northbound near the 76-mile marker, near Taylorsville after a crash occurred where a vehicle left the roadway.
Troopers Payton Utterback and Noah Moore soon arrived in the area and located a 2025 Nissan Rogue approximately 100 feet off the east side of the roadway.
The driver of the SUV, identified as 35-year-old Amanda Seguin of Indianapolis was pronounced dead at the scene despite life saving measures performed by first responders.
The initial investigation by Trp. Utterback indicated that Seguin was traveling northbound on I-65 when, for an unknown reason, she lost control of the SUV, which left the right side of the roadway and struck a concrete barrier.
Her vehicle then continued down an embankment where it overturned, ejecting Seguin.
It is not believed that she was properly restrained and the initial investigation indicates that drugs and/or alcohol may be a contributing factor in the crash.
The investigation is ongoing.
Troopers were assisted by the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office, Columbus Police Department, Taylorsville Fire Department, German Township Fire Department, Columbus Regional EMS, and the Bartholomew County Coroner’s Office.
