DeKALB COUNTY, Ind. — An Indianapolis woman was killed Wednesday in a crash on Interstate 69 in northern Indiana, according to the Indiana State Police.

A passenger riding with Stevens was transported to a Fort Wayne hospital in critical condition. The driver of the semi was not injured.
The northbound lanes of Interstate 69 were closed for nearly three hours during the investigation.
