Deputies seek witnesses in Haysville hit-and-run crash

Dubois County deputies are asking neighbors in the Haysville area to help identify the driver of a black Chevrolet full-size pickup after a hit-and-run near 378 W. Haysville Road. Investigators say the truck was last seen heading east on Haysville Road toward State Road 56 at about 2:45 p.m., and even a small detail from a witness or camera could help reconstruct the crash.

The vehicle is believed to be a late 1990s model, and the sheriff’s office said the investigation remained active with no suspect publicly identified. In a rural stretch like Haysville, where traffic is lighter than in Jasper or along bigger county roads, a pickup that does not belong or a vehicle seen leaving the area can stand out to nearby residents more easily than it might elsewhere. That makes home-security footage, dashcam video and firsthand observations especially valuable.

Anyone who saw the crash or knows anything about the truck is being asked to call Dubois County Central Dispatch at 812-482-9111 and ask for Deputy Tanner. Deputies want information not just about the collision itself, but also about where the pickup went before and after it passed the crash scene.

The Dubois County Sheriff’s Office lists Sheriff Tom Kleinhelter as the county sheriff, and the department maintains a separate website and app where residents can submit tips and get public-safety information. Indiana State Police says it keeps the central repository for all crash reports in Indiana, meaning a formal report should exist if deputies completed the usual crash documentation.

For investigators, the challenge now is turning a brief afternoon sighting into a full account of who was behind the wheel and where the truck came from. In a case like this, a single plate fragment, a dashcam clip or a neighbor’s memory of an unusual black Chevrolet pickup could make the difference.
