Jasper County, IN – Drivers on I-65 in northwest Indiana should expect delays today after a tanker hauling flammable material rolled over near the DeMotte exit.
According to the Indiana State Police-Lowell Post, the crash occurred at the northbound 231 mile marker, about one mile north of the DeMotte exit. Troopers said the tanker overturned along the northbound side of the interstate. While no lanes are currently closed, officials confirmed that closures will be required once tow trucks arrive and a plan is finalized to safely upright the vehicle.
Police said recovery crews must take extra precautions because the tanker is carrying flammable material. That means motorists may see extended delays, intermittent stoppages, or full northbound lane closures once the operation begins. The timing of the closure has not yet been announced.
The rollover is already causing heavier-than-normal traffic in the area, and drivers traveling between White County, Jasper County, and Lake County may experience backups during the morning and afternoon commute windows.
No injuries were immediately reported, and officials did not release details on what caused the tanker to overturn. The Indiana State Police are urging drivers to use caution, slow down when approaching the crash site, and consider alternate routes to avoid delays once recovery operations begin.
