Bloomfield, IN, Man Killed When Fed Ex Truck Strikes Fallen Tree

In Clay County, Indiana, a Fed Ex truck driver was killed on Saturday morning when his vehicle struck a fallen tree in the road. The Clay County Sheriff's Department said that 55-year-old Raymond Wesley Corey of Bloomfield, Indiana, was driving on State Route 157 just after seven in the morning this weekend when his truck collided with a tree lying across both lanes of the highway.

Clay County Coroner Joel Reinoehl pronounced the Fed Ex worker dead at the scene of the truck accident. Indiana SR 157 south of County Road 800 South remained closed as emergency workers cleared the scene of the fatal Indiana truck accident and while the Indiana State Highway Department removed the fallen tree. Corey was originally from Terre Haute, Indiana.

Investigators are unsure of what caused the tree to fall or why Corey did not see the obstacle.
