"Last August, a semi crashed into vehicles stopped in a construction zone on the Toll Road near Bristol, killing a truck driver and four members of one family, including two children.
Thursday's crash occurred in roughly the same area under similar construction conditions.
The crash has prompted Senator Tom Wyss of Fort Wayne to call for a study of commercial vehicle crashes in Indiana. On Thursday, Wyss said Indiana interstates were developing a reputation among truck drivers that 'once you cross the Ohio line, you've got a free ride.' Wyss doesn't believe that's the fault of the Indiana State Police who he believes are undermanned to cover the amount of truck traffic in the state."
