Boone County, IN – Drivers on I-65 in Boone County are facing major delays this afternoon after a crash shut down two northbound lanes near the 139 mile marker, according to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.
According to deputies, lanes 2 and 3 of the northbound side of I-65 were closed shortly after the collision was reported. The sheriff’s office posted the alert just minutes ago, warning motorists to use caution and avoid the area while first responders work the scene.
The closure is impacting traffic north of Lebanon, IN, a heavily traveled stretch for commuters moving between Indianapolis and northern counties. Early indications suggest backups may grow quickly as crews continue their response. No estimated reopening time has been released.
Authorities have not yet released details on the number of vehicles involved or whether any injuries have been reported. Additional updates are expected as the investigation continues and tow operations begin.
Drivers planning to travel through Boone County should consider alternate routes, including State Road 39 or U.S. 52, to bypass the affected section of I-65.
