CLAY COUNTY, Ind — Indiana State police say one person was taken to a hospital Thursday afternoon after a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 70 in Clay County.

It happened around 5:25 p.m. in the westbound lanes of the highway about three miles east of State Road 59.

The driver attempted to avoid a collision but struck the rear of a semi tractor trailer. The car flipped and came to rest on the roadway.
