Tractor-trailer and pickup collision results in death of Morristown student

A Morristown student was killed Monday morning in a pickup-tractor-trailer collision.

About 8 a.m., Colt Andry, 18, of Morristown, was southbound in the 1700 block of Miller Ave. A tractor-trailer owned by Thomas Oil Company, of Franklin, driven by Peter Crater, of North Vernon, was northbound also in the 1700 block of Miller Ave. 

The investigation shows that the pickup truck driven by Andry left its lane of travel and crossed over into the northbound lane. Andry’s truck then made contact with the tractor-trailer causing Andry’s pickup to flip onto its side and then onto its roof.

Andry was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash.  A juvenile passenger was transported for medical treatment and has since been released.

At this time the investigation is not showing any signs of intoxication by either driver. Toxicology results are pending which is standard procedure in any fatality accident.

The Shelbyville Police Department sends its thoughts and prayers out to the Andry family, the community of Morristown, and all those affected by this tragedy.
