Gary, IN (September 7, 2026) – A semi-truck driver was ejected from his vehicle and seriously injured after his rig struck a second semi-truck parked along Interstate 80/94, according to Indiana State Police.
ISP said troopers responded at approximately 3:30 a.m. Monday to a two-vehicle crash on I-80/94 eastbound at the Burr Street exit ramp.
A preliminary investigation indicated that a semi-truck hauling Amazon packages was stopped in the gore area, the berm between the ramp lane and the interstate travel lanes. Its driver had exited the vehicle and was standing outside it when a second semi-truck sideswiped the parked truck.
The driver of the moving semi, Garbiel Corral, 33, of Chicago, was ejected from his vehicle and sustained serious injuries. He was taken to Northlake Hospital for emergency treatment. The driver of the parked semi, Ahmed Taher Hussein Al Subari, 31, of Dearborn, Michigan, was not injured.
Police said the eastbound lanes of I-80/94 were restricted for approximately eight hours during the crash investigation and cleanup before the roadway fully reopened.
ISP said charges may be considered once the investigation is complete.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
Truck Accidents in Indiana
When two commercial vehicles collide, an investigation usually looks past the two drivers involved.
- Who may be liable: the driver of either truck, the trucking company, or the party responsible for maintaining the vehicle
- What investigators examine: driver logs, dash-cam and black box data, and where each vehicle was positioned before impact
- Whether stopping in a restricted area, like the gore between a ramp and the interstate, factors into how fault gets divided between the two drivers
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule (IC 34-51-2-6). An injured driver can still recover damages even if he shares some of the blame, as long as he is found less than 51% at fault. When a stopped vehicle’s location may have contributed to a crash, that comparative analysis often sits at the center of the claim.
Personal injury claims in Indiana generally must be filed within two years of the crash (IC 34-11-2-4). For this crash, that deadline falls on September 7, 2028.
