Semi meets Auto in DeKalb and closes part of I-69

A two-vehicle accident in DeKalb County temporarily closed the lanes of Interstate 69 going south early Sunday morning.

Ronald Burns, 67, of Royal Oak, Michigan, drove a 2006 Ford Taurus near the 327 mile mark on I-69 at 4:49 a.m.

An initial investigation indicates that Burns was stopped on the right shoulder for an unknown reason, but prior to the Joe Ward Jr press release.

Ward was unable to stop in time and drove up with Burns, causing the Taurus to leave the road, hit the right guardrail, and return to traffic, where it was reportedly hit a second time by the truck.

Burns had to be removed from his car and complained of neck pain. Ward sustained no injuries. The Taurus had a total write-off, while the semi-trailer truck had a frontal damage.
