One person was killed in a crash on I-80/94 in northwestern Indiana.

It was just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19, when troopers called to the 1.0 mile-marker, near Calumet Avenue, for a crash involving a passenger vehicle and a semi.

The preliminary investigation shows that a white Jeep Grand Cherokee had been traveling westbound when it struck an attenuator in the gore area for the exit ramp to Calumet Ave.

The Jeep came to a rest in the right lane of the interstate, facing eastbound in the westbound lanes.

The Jeep was then struck nearly head on by the semi.

The driver, who was the only occupant of the Jeep, was declared dead at the scene by the Lake County Coroner’s Office. The driver of the semi was not injured.

The Indiana State Police Crash Reconstruction was called out to assist with the investigation.
