Investigation Underway for Fatal Crash in Hancock County, Indiana
HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. – Authorities are currently investigating a tragic crash that occurred on Sunday afternoon in Hancock County, Indiana. The incident took place around 4:30 p.m. near the intersection of U.S. 36 and County Road 400 West.
Law enforcement responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at the scene. According to witnesses, a motorcyclist, identified as 30-year-old Robert Siuzdak from Avon, was traveling east on U.S. 36 towards Fortville at an excessive speed. Siuzdak was seen passing multiple vehicles in a designated no-passing area.
Deputies from the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department stated that a pickup truck was crossing both lanes of U.S. 36 to continue north on County Road 400 West. The evidence collected at the scene suggests that the pickup truck had already crossed the eastbound lane of U.S. 36 and was in the process of crossing the westbound lane when the motorcycle collided with it while attempting to overtake other vehicles.
Tragically, Siuzdak, who was wearing a helmet, succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The pickup truck driver remained uninjured and fully cooperated with the investigation. Authorities do not suspect drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.
To conduct a thorough investigation, officials closed U.S. 36 for approximately two hours. The Hancock County Sheriff’s Department is working in conjunction with the McCordsville and Fortville police departments to determine the cause of the accident.
