Boone County, Indiana — A disabled semi shut down part of Middle Jamestown Road Thursday, disrupting traffic near the 1350 block.
According to the Boone County Indiana Sheriff’s Office, the roadway is currently closed in the area while deputies respond to a semi truck that became disabled along the route.
Officials issued a traffic alert shortly after the incident was reported, warning drivers to avoid the area and use caution if traveling nearby. The closure affects the stretch of Middle Jamestown Road around the 1350 block, though authorities have not said how long the disruption may last.
No injuries were reported in the alert, and officials have not indicated whether additional vehicles were involved. The sheriff’s office did not release details about what caused the semi to become disabled.
Drivers traveling through rural Boone County may experience delays while crews work to manage traffic and address the situation. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes until the roadway reopens.
Middle Jamestown Road is commonly used by local drivers moving between rural county roads and nearby communities, meaning closures can temporarily affect area traffic patterns.
The sheriff’s office said drivers should continue monitoring official alerts and exercise caution around emergency vehicles and responders in the area.
For commuters, delivery drivers, and students traveling local county roads, even short rural closures can create detours and travel delays during the day.
Authorities have not yet announced an estimated reopening time.
