BARTHOLOMEW CO. – A Brown County Sheriff’s Office deputy was critically injured Wednesday in a motorcycle crash.
At approximately 2:47 p.m., Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an accident at the intersection of West State Road 46 and Old Nashville Road. The caller said the crash involved a motorcycle and a pickup truck.
Upon arrival, deputies found Brown County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Timothy True, who was off-duty and the individual on the motorcycle, had suffered significant head injuries.
He was taken to an Indianapolis hospital by a Lifeline helicopter. He is reported to be in critical, but stable condition, according to the Bartholomew County Sheriff.
The Bartholomew County Accident Reconstruction Team was called to document the scene. The preliminary investigation indicates that the pickup truck pulled out onto West State Road 46 from Old Nashville Road in front of the motorcycle, resulting in a collision. The investigation is ongoing.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy True and his family. The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office remains available to assist our fellow law enforcement colleagues in Brown County throughout this difficult time,” Bartholomew County Sheriff Chris Lane said in a Thursday press release.
