We have an office in downtown Mooresville at 4 N. Indiana St, and Don Poynter grew up in Morgantown, so Morgan County is familiar ground. The county mixes fast-growing commuter neighborhoods in the north with hills, curves and two-lane highways farther south.
Where crashes happen
- I-69 between Martinsville and Indianapolis. The old SR 37 was rebuilt as an interstate; the Martinsville-to-Indianapolis section of the I-69 Finish Line project opened in August 2024. New ramps and interchanges still catch drivers who learned the old road.
- SR 67 through Mooresville toward Indianapolis
- SR 39 and SR 44 around Martinsville
- Hilly, curving rural roads popular with motorcyclists
Who writes the report
Mooresville or Martinsville police in town, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office elsewhere, and the Indiana State Police on I-69 and state highways.
Courts
Morgan County's courts are in Martinsville, the county seat.
Cases we see here
