Boone County, Indiana — After a crash closed two lanes Tuesday morning, travelers who rely on southbound I-65 near I-865 will need to find a different route.
The two right lanes of southbound I-65 from County Road 650 South to I-865 are closed as of 5 a.m., because of an accident involving two semi-trucks.
The driver of a semi-truck had just merged onto the interstate from Whitestown Parkway when his rig lost power and he started to coast, according to police.
The driver of a second semi was unable to avoid the disabled big rig and the two trucks collided.
Both trailers were sliced open in the crash. One was hauling recycling products and the other was hauling furniture. The contents of both trailers spilled out onto the road.
According to Whitestown Police, one of the truck drivers was checked out by medics and released at the scene. The second driver was not injured.
