Pendleton, IN – A serious collision has shut down the southbound lanes of Interstate 69 at the 245-mile marker Monday, according to the Indiana State Police Pendleton District.
Authorities say the crash resulted in at least one injury, and all southbound traffic is currently being diverted from the area. Drivers are urged to avoid the scene and use alternative routes while emergency crews and investigators work on-site.
According to police, the closure is expected to remain in effect until further notice as officials assess the damage and clear the roadway. Motorists traveling through central Indiana should expect delays and plan extra travel time, especially those heading toward the Indianapolis metro area.
The Indiana State Police said updates will be shared once the interstate reopens.
