A semi truck driver was arrested and faces charges after striking an Indiana State Police (ISP) cruiser in Posey County over the weekend.
At approximately 8:38 a.m. on September 27, 2025, an ISP trooper was standing outside of his cruiser on westbound I-64 near mile marker 10 as he conducted a traffic stop on a semi truck.

The trooper was later transported for treatment of minor injuries.
Hohman faces the following charges:
- Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Crash, Class A Misdemeanor
