Grant County, IN – Drivers traveling through Grant County are being urged to use extreme caution on Interstate 69 today after authorities reported multiple slide-offs and crashes linked to hazardous road conditions.
According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, deputies are receiving several reports of vehicles losing control and crashing along I-69 in Grant County as conditions deteriorate. Officials did not immediately specify the cause, but warned that the roadway is dangerous and may worsen as traffic continues.
The sheriff’s office is advising motorists to slow down, increase following distance, and avoid sudden braking or lane changes if travel is unavoidable. Emergency responders may experience delays reaching crash scenes due to conditions and traffic congestion, further increasing risks for drivers.
No serious injuries have been confirmed as of this update, and officials have not announced any full closures. However, drivers should expect possible slowdowns or temporary lane restrictions as crews respond to incidents and vehicles are cleared from the roadway.
Grant County is located in north-central Indiana, northeast of Indianapolis, and I-69 serves as a major north-south corridor connecting drivers to Fort Wayne and surrounding communities. Even minor crashes along this stretch can quickly lead to backups, especially during peak travel times.
Authorities are reminding drivers to check road conditions before heading out, allow extra travel time, and consider delaying trips if conditions do not improve. Additional updates are expected as deputies continue monitoring the situation.
