INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - One person died and another was critically injured in a fiery crash on Interstate 65 Thursday night.

Traffic restrictions were in place until around 4:15 a.m. Friday, and more are possible later Friday.

The crash happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday near the 127-mile marker, near 86th Street. INDOT said a semi overturned.

One driver died, and hadn't been identified Friday morning because of serious burns. The other driver, 50-year-old Robert Labezevych, of Chicago, was in critical condition at Wishard Memorial Hospital, also suffering from burns.

Indiana State Police officials say the fire from the crash was contained to a ditch, but a guard rail was significantly damaged. Officials were considering moving one of the vehicles after the Friday morning rush hour.
