DEKALB CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office says that three semis crashed in a Butler parking lot Friday. It happened after one of the drivers said he had a medical emergency.
Police say that, around 10:45 a.m., 41-year-old Matthew McGinnis Jr. was driving a semi into the parking lot of Steel Dynamics when he began to feel sick and “may have blacked out,” he later told police.
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office says that is when the semi hit another semi that was parked in the lot. Police said that the driver was asleep inside. The truck kept going, hitting the trailer of a second semi with a driver sitting inside.
McGinnis was taken to the hospital, along with the driver of the first semi he crashed into.
The DeKalb Co. Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Butler Fire Department and Parkview EMS.
