CUMBERLAND, Ind. (WISH) – A Markleville man was killed in a crash Monday morning on U.S. 40 at the border of Marion and Hancock counties, the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office said.

Matthew Fisher, 48, died at the scene of the accident as a result of his injuries.

Fisher was driving a 2011 Ford Edge SUV when he collided with a 1996 Peterbilt dump truck at the intersection of US 40 and County Road 800 West.

Kenneth Stautamoyer, 48, of Daleville, was driving the dump truck. He cooperated with investigators.

Investigators spoke with witnesses. The SUV and dump truck were traveling east on US40, approaching the intersection at County Road 800 East. Both vehicles were in the left lane and the dump truck was the lead vehicle. As the dump truck approached County Road 800 East, Stautamoyer signaled to turn north. During the turn, the SUV struck the rear of the dump truck.

The dump truck tipped over onto the passenger side. The SUV suffered severe front-end damage.

A press release from the sheriff’s office stated: “This accident occurred in the early morning hours, just before 8:00 a.m., as eastbound traffic was traveling into the sunrise. According to witnesses, the sunrise was very bright, indicating that visibility may have played a role in the collision.”
