Morocco, IN – A semi-truck has blocked Polk Street in Morocco, Indiana, prompting a full road closure Friday morning as winter weather continues to impact travel across Newton County.
According to the Morocco Indiana Police Department, the roadway will remain closed for an “unknown amount of time” after the semi became stuck and unable to move, obstructing traffic in both directions. Authorities have advised drivers to avoid traveling north from Michigan Avenue onto Polk Street until further notice.
The incident occurred amid slick, snow-covered roads and low visibility in the area. Law enforcement and local crews are working to clear the truck, but it is unclear when the roadway will reopen. No injuries have been reported.
Residents and commuters are urged to use alternate routes and drive cautiously, as additional delays may occur while the scene is cleared. Updates will be provided through the Morocco Police Department’s official social media channels.
