AUBURN, IN - A highway maintenance worker was injured on an I-69 overpass.

Indiana State troopers responded to a call Tuesday morning at 7:45 AM in DeKalb County. First units on the scene discovered that a highway maintenance worker had been struck by a vehicle.

Investigators say the maintenance worker, identified as Yancy J. Anderson, age 29, of Knox, had been trimming weeds along the County Road 11A overpass at I-69. While he was attempting to walk across the road, Anderson was struck by an oncoming cargo van, driven by Robert W. Kahlke, age 66, of Garrett.

The impact sent Anderson airborne and into the path of a pickup truck, driven by Brent Carver, age 31, of Auburn.

Anderson was taken to a hospital on Fort Wayne. He was last known to be in serious condition.

Both of the involved drivers cooperated fully with authorities, and underwent a chemical test. After a routine investigation, neither drivers were not found to be at fault.
