Vigo County, IN – Westbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Vigo County are currently shut down after a serious crash involving two semi-trucks early Friday morning, according to Indiana State Police. The incident occurred near the 1-mile marker and is expected to cause major delays for several hours.
According to Indiana State Police Sgt. Matt Ames, a semi-truck jackknifed across the westbound lanes, and another semi became stuck in the median. Cleanup crews are working to clear the scene, but officials say the closure could last at least two hours. Motorists are being advised to seek alternate routes until the area is reopened.
Photos from the Indiana Department of Transportation’s West Central district show one of the trucks involved displaying Sherwin-Williams branding, with debris and vehicles blocking the roadway.
Authorities have not reported any injuries at this time. Crews remain on-site to manage traffic and remove the damaged vehicles.
Drivers traveling through western Indiana should monitor INDOT’s social media pages and traffic alerts for the latest updates on the I-70 closure.
