A 67-year-old Bloomington man died in a three-vehicle accident at about 10:40 a.m. Friday.

Bloomington Police Department officers responded to a vehicle accident near North Kinser Pike and the State Road 45/46 bypass at about 10:40 a.m. Friday, according to a press release from BPD Capt. Joe Qualters.

Cecil Cain, 67, who was driving a Buick LeSabre, was transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The preliminary cause of death is believed to be blunt force trauma, although an autopsy has not yet been conducted.
