The driver of the International was identified as Michael L. Schinlaub, Jr., 30, of Elwood, IN. Schinlaub was treated and released at the scene. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.

Investigators from the NPD Accident Reconstruction Unit were summons to the scene to collect evidence and gather information. As a result of the investigation, lanes of SR 37 and Greenfield Ave. were either restricted and/or closed until approximately 10:00 a.m.

This remains an ongoing investigation. Intoxication and weather do not appear to be contributing factors in the crash.
