Indiana, USA – Two separate truck-involved crashes continue to cause major traffic restrictions on Interstate 65 northbound near the 216–217 mile markers in northwest Indiana, according to the Indiana State Police-Lowell Post.
The incidents, which occurred earlier Tuesday, left both crash scenes partially closed, with only the left lane open to traffic. The Indiana Department of Transportation: Northwest (INDOT) is currently evaluating asphalt damage caused by oil that spilled from one of the trucks during the second crash.
The first crash site, located near the 217-mile marker, is still being cleared. Both scenes are causing heavy congestion in the area, and police are urging drivers to slow down and remain alert as emergency crews work roadside.
Authorities confirmed that truck drivers were at fault in both crashes, though no injuries have been reported at this time. INDOT crews remain on site to monitor roadway conditions and complete necessary cleanup.
Motorists traveling northbound on I-65 through Lake and Jasper counties should expect significant delays and are advised to seek alternate routes.
