South Bend, IN – A section of South Bend was shut down Wednesday afternoon after Indiana State Police launched an active investigation at a busy neighborhood intersection.
Authorities urged the public to avoid the area near Lincoln Way East and Eldora Court around 1:30 p.m. as officers from both Indiana State Police and the South Bend Police Department responded to what officials called an “active investigation.”
According to the South Bend Police Department, officers are assisting state investigators at the scene. No further details on the nature of the incident have been released, and it remains unclear what prompted the police presence in the area.
Law enforcement warned drivers to expect delays and detours while the scene remains active. Officials said the investigation could impact local traffic through the evening, though no timeline was given for when the area would reopen.
Indiana State Police have taken the lead on the case and are expected to release more information as it becomes available. Residents are being asked to stay clear of the area and report any suspicious activity.
This is a developing story and will be updated as new details emerge.
