Western Vigo County, In. –  Early Friday morning a man was killed when his truck fell through I-70 Bridge construction and cashed onto The Robinson Road in western Vigo County.  Police reports say the driver had been in contact with a family member saying he was lost and fatigued. The driver was a stranger in the area and was running late and may have mistakenly turned westbound onto the eastbound I-70 exit ramp at Exit 1. The driver continued west past the edge of the remaining roadway and then left the road, colliding with a newly installed bridge support. The driver was deceased when his vehicle was discovered at daylight.
