The community of Lebanon, Indiana is mourning the tragic loss of Jaheim Miller, 22, who died following a devastating three-vehicle collision on Monday afternoon. His passing has left family members, friends, coworkers, and community members in deep grief.
According to the Lebanon Police Department, the crash occurred at approximately 2:10 p.m. at the intersection of State Road 32 and County Road 400 West. Authorities reported that the collision involved a dump truck, a passenger vehicle, and a semitractor-trailer, resulting in a major emergency response.
Investigators stated that Miller was operating the dump truck at the time of the crash. Following the impact, he became trapped inside the vehicle and was extricated by emergency responders. He was transported to an Indianapolis-area hospital for treatment but later succumbed to his injuries.
The drivers and occupants of the other vehicles involved were also taken to local hospitals. Officials stated that their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Their identities have not been released at this time.
The crash caused the temporary closure of State Road 32 for several hours as investigators worked at the scene, cleared debris, and began reconstructing the events leading up to the collision.
