A Sunday morning drive turned terrifying for a Mooresville family when their sport-utility vehicle rolled over on northbound Interstate 69 in Monroe County, seriously injuring a couple and four children. Some of the occupants were trapped in the wrecked SUV until firefighters could cut them free, and multiple family members were rushed to area hospitals.
Crash details and who was hurt
The rollover happened in the northbound lanes of I-69 near the 107.5-mile marker and involved a 2025 Ford Explorer, investigators said. The driver, a 37-year-old man from Mooresville, is cooperating with the investigation. The other occupants were a 37-year-old woman and four children, several of whom suffered significant injuries, according to FOX59.
Rescue work and hospital care
Fire crews worked at the overturned SUV to extricate several trapped passengers before ambulances began transporting the injured. Multiple victims were taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, and at least one child was later transferred to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis for specialized pediatric treatment.
Investigation under way
The Monroe County Major Crash Investigation Team responded to the scene and is carrying out an active investigation, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives are asking anyone with video or information about the crash to come forward so they can piece together what led to the Explorer overturning, in line with guidance posted on the sheriff’s office website.
