Full Notification

On August 4, 2025, at 7:48 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received 911 report of a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of State Road 68 and County Road 250 East near Haubstadt, Indiana.  Multiple law enforcement officers were dispatched to the scene as well as medics with the Gibson County Ambulance Service and Haubstadt Fire Department.  Upon arriving, emergency service personnel attempted life saving treatment on one patient, but they were ultimately declared deceased at the scene. 
 
The results of the preliminary investigation indicate that a Buick Lacrosse failed to stop at a stop sign on County Road 250 East and pulled into the path of a White Freightliner Semi truck.  The Freightliner could not avoid the passenger car and struck the Lacrosse at a right angle.  As is the procedure with a fatal accident, the driver of the semi-truck was taken to an area hospital so that a blood drawl could be obtained and sent off to the state.
 
Gibson County Coroner Barrett Doyle is investigating the death, and an autopsy will be scheduled later. 
 
Gibson County Deputy Eric Powell is investigating the accident.  He was assisted by Sgt. Loren Barchett, Deputy Wyatt Hunt, and Bryan Small.  Also assisting were Haubstadt Police Chief Jason Wright and Princeton Officer David Jones.
