Schererville, IN – A fatal vehicle-versus-pedestrian crash early Tuesday has shut down a major stretch of US Highway 41 near the intersection of US 30, according to the Schererville Fire Department.
Officials say southbound US 41 is closed from the Walmart entrance to the US 30 intersection as police and emergency responders remain on scene. The closure began shortly after the crash was reported this morning, and authorities are urging drivers to avoid the area due to significant traffic congestion.
According to Region News Source, the crash involved a pedestrian who was struck and killed near one of Schererville’s busiest retail corridors. No additional details about the victim or the driver have been released as of Monday morning.
Motorists traveling through the area should expect extended delays and are advised to seek alternate routes while investigators work to clear the scene.
Authorities said updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
