Westfield, IN – Drivers in Westfield are facing sudden traffic disruptions this afternoon as a major intersection was shut down following a traffic accident, prompting police to urge motorists to avoid the area.
According to the Westfield Police Department, the intersection of State Road 32 and Springmill Road was temporarily closed around 12:35 p.m. today while officers responded to and investigated a traffic crash. The closure affects one of the city’s busiest east–west corridors, commonly used by commuters and commercial traffic.
Police say the shutdown is necessary to allow emergency crews to safely manage the scene and clear the roadway. The Westfield Fire Department is also assisting as officials work to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Motorists are being asked to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes while the investigation and cleanup continue. No estimated reopening time has been announced, though police indicated updates will be provided once the roadway is cleared and deemed safe to reopen.
SR 32 serves as a key connector through Westfield in Hamilton County, linking residential neighborhoods with retail areas and providing access toward the Indianapolis metro area. Even short-term closures at Springmill Road can cause backups during midday and afternoon travel periods.
Officials did not immediately release details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved. Drivers traveling through Westfield this afternoon should expect delays and allow extra time, especially if heading toward nearby commercial districts or school zones.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official updates from Westfield Police and local traffic alerts before heading out.
