'God told me to do it,' semi driver said after fatal crash in Seymour, documents say

A semitrailer driver accused of slamming into the back of a pickup truck Wednesday in Seymour allegedly said to troopers, "God told me to do it."

Adam W. Housley, 33, was charged Thursday with two counts of second-degree murder after troopers say he caused Wednesday's crash on U.S. 60 that killed two people.

According to a probable cause statement, a witness told investigators Housley never hit the brakes before crashing into the back of a pickup truck that was sitting at a red light on U.S. 60, east of West Clinton Avenue, just after 3 p.m.

Troopers say the pickup truck was pushed into the back of another semitrailer that was sitting in front of it.
