Elkhart, IN – A section of I-90 through Elkhart County was shut down Monday evening following a multi-vehicle accident that blocked both lanes, according to Indiana State Police.
The Indiana Weather Network first reported the closure around 7:55 p.m. ET, urging drivers to avoid the area as emergency crews continued to clear the scene. Photos shared by Sgt. Ted Bohner of the Indiana State Police Bremen Post showed multiple semi-trucks jackknifed across icy lanes, with snow and freezing temperatures complicating recovery efforts.
Authorities have not released details on possible injuries or the total number of vehicles involved. Troopers remain on scene managing traffic and coordinating with tow and road maintenance crews.
Drivers traveling east or west through the Elkhart area should expect extended delays and seek alternate routes. The Indiana State Police are asking motorists to slow down and use caution as winter weather continues to impact visibility and road conditions.
Updates will be provided as the highway reopens.
