One killed on 231 between Huntingburg and Jasper

A Huntingburg resident was killed in a three vehicle accident at 7 last night on US 231 south of Witz Road between Jasper and Huntingburg.

The Dubois County Sheriff’s Department reports that 39-year-old Sameer C. Metha  driving a Chevy Tracker was south and hit a patch of ice on the bridge.  The Tracker lost control and hit a northbound Toyota Tundra head on.  The Tundra was driven by 36-year-old Jeremy Brewer of Huntingburg.  The third vehicle was a Chevy Impala driven by Michael Carie and it rear ended the Tundra.

Metha died at the scene, Brewer suffered a leg injury and Carie was unharmed in the crash.  All the drivers had to be extricated.  Weather was considered a factor in the accident which is still under investigation.
