UPDATE: A Henderson man is charged in connection with a serious accident Saturday night in Gibson County.
Indiana State Police say Marcus Osborne, 27, was arrested and charged with DWI after his car collided with a truck driven by Bill Sempsrote, 67, of Robinson, Illinois. It happened around 10:35 PM Saturday on Highway 41 at Toyota. Troopers say Osborne was headed north when his Chrysler 300 collided with Sempsrote's utility truck. Janet Sempsrote, 57, was a passenger in the truck. Janet was ejected from the truck while Bill was trapped inside. The Sempsrotes were air-lifted to St. Mary's for head injuries. Highway 41 was closed for about two hours while crews were on scene.
Troopers say Osborne had a blood alcohol content of .15. He's being held in the Gibson County Jail without bond.
PREVIOUS: The northbound lanes of Highway 41 at Toyota are closed due to a serious accident. The Gibson County Sheriff's Office confirms LifeFlight has been called to the scene. Law enforcement had to shut down the highway to make way for the medical helicopter's landing.
Deputies are asking people to avoid the area. Officials say they're not sure how long the road will remain closed.
Our crew on the scene says it appears two vehicles were involved. We'll bring you more details as they become available.
