Boone County, Indiana — A crash has closed one northbound lane of Interstate 65 near mile marker 128.4, triggering traffic delays and safety concerns in Boone County.

Officials have not released details about the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no estimated time for reopening the lane has been provided.
Traffic is expected to slow significantly through the affected stretch as vehicles merge into open lanes. Drivers traveling northbound on I-65 in the area may encounter backups, especially during peak travel periods.
Authorities advise motorists to reduce speed, maintain safe following distances, and remain alert for emergency responders working along the roadway. Alternate routes may help commuters avoid congestion while crews manage the scene.
This stretch of I-65 is a key corridor for regional travel, and even a single-lane closure can create ripple effects for freight movement and daily commuters.
