Fatal DeKalb County crash claims the life of Mia Stevens – Obituary
Mia Stevens, 22, from Indianapolis, lost her life in a tragic collision on Interstate 69 in DeKalb County, Indiana, on Wednesday. The crash occurred around 2 p.m. near the County Road 11 interchange when Stevens, driving northbound, struck the rear of a semi-truck that had stopped due to traffic congestion.
According to the Indiana State Police, the slowdown was caused by a lane closure, and Stevens appeared not to have seen the stalled traffic in time to stop. Investigators report she was likely traveling at highway speed upon impact.
A passenger in Stevens’s vehicle sustained critical injuries and was taken to a hospital in Fort Wayne. The semi-truck driver was uninjured. The crash led to the temporary closure of the northbound lanes on Interstate 69 for approximately three hours as police conducted their investigation.
