Hobart, IN – A rollover crash on U.S. Route 30 just east of I-65 in front of Westfield Southlake Mall prompted a major emergency response this afternoon, leaving two people injured and temporarily shutting down part of the roadway.
According to a statement from the Hobart Fire Department, first responders arrived on the scene to find a black SUV flipped upside down and significant damage to a white pickup truck. Firefighters and paramedics immediately began patient care and secured the crash site to prevent further injuries or hazards.
Officials reported that two individuals sustained injuries in the collision. One patient was transported by medical helicopter to a regional trauma center, while the other was taken by ground ambulance. The current conditions of the victims have not been released.
Traffic in the area was significantly impacted as emergency crews worked to clear the scene. Authorities closed off multiple lanes near the mall entrance, and the presence of a medevac helicopter required additional space and time to safely lift off from the roadway.
