Eric Lach, 35, was pronounced dead at IU Health Bloomington Hospital following the crash.

Investigators say Lach was northbound on State Road 45 near Breeden Road and drove left of the center line, striking a southbound SUV and continuing northbound in the southbound lanes.

Lach's vehicle then spun into the path of an oncoming truck.
