Scott County, IN – An overturned semi-truck blocked both lanes of SR 3 near Polk Road on Monday evening, causing significant traffic disruptions.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office reported deputies arrived at the scene shortly after the crash occurred. Emergency crews worked through the evening to address the situation, but officials warned the closure would remain in place for several hours.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, drivers are urged to avoid the area and seek alternate routes. The overturned semi has made both lanes impassable, and detour signs are being set up. It remains unclear if there were any injuries or what caused the truck to overturn.

Local authorities emphasized the importance of caution for drivers as wet roads and limited visibility may have been contributing factors.

Motorists traveling through the area should check for updates from the Sheriff’s Office and local traffic advisories.
