Corporal Blake Reynolds was killed while assisting the driver of a disabled semitrailer on Interstate 69 near the 247-mile marker west of Gaston.
He was standing outside his patrol vehicle and the semitrailer was partially in the roadway when the driver of another semitrailer traveling northbound lost control, striking Corporal Reynolds, his patrol vehicle and the disabled semitrailer.
He was taken to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie where he was pronounced dead. The 39-year-old male driver of the striking semitrailer was airlifted to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. The driver of the disabled semitrailer was not injured.
Corporal Reynolds, from Muncie, had previously served as a juvenile probation officer with the county. He is survived by his wife, Allison (née Eddleman), whom he married in June; parents, Bruce and Melissa (née Adair); brother, Dustin; maternal grandparents, Calvin and Sandra Adair; and paternal grandparents, Bruce and Linda Reynolds.
