The single-car crash, which involved a commercial vehicle, occurred about 4:30 a.m. near Whiteland. Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox said the driver of a semi following the vehicle may have recorded the accident using an onboard video camera.

Cox said alcohol and drugs were not suspected in the crash.
