LaPorte County, IN – Eastbound traffic on the Indiana Toll Road came to a complete stop Wednesday morning after a semi crash forced the closure of all lanes near the 56-mile marker, according to Indiana State Police.
Authorities said the crash happened just east of the service plaza and rest area in LaPorte County. Crews are currently on scene, and traffic is being diverted while emergency responders work to clear the wreckage.
Drivers traveling eastbound are advised to seek alternate routes or delay travel if possible. No immediate word has been released on injuries or how long the closure will remain in place.
According to the Indiana State Police Lowell Post, updates will be shared as crews make progress reopening the highway. Motorists can check the Indiana Toll Road’s official traffic feed or the Indiana Department of Transportation’s travel map for live conditions and detour routes.
