VIGO CO., Ind. (WTHI) - A Vigo County Sheriff’s Deputy is fortunate to be safe at home Monday morning, after his cruiser was struck by a semitrailer while he worked the scene of a car fire Sunday night.
Deputy Jim Haley was working the scene of a car fire on U.S. 41 and S.R. 246, when according to Indiana State Police, a two-trailer semitrailer, traveling at high speeds, started to pass the deputy.
