I-70 partially closed in western Indiana
Reporter: Associated Press
A westbound lane of Interstate 70 in western Indiana has reopened after a fiery crash.
Indiana State Police say one of two westbound lanes reopened to traffic at the 22-mile marker Tuesday evening nearly two hours after the crash closed all lanes of the highway. Eastbound lanes were closed more than an hour before reopening.
Sgt. Joe Watts says the cleanup from the crash was expected to continue past midnight. The load of one of the semitrailers caught fire.
Watts says the driver of a car tried to make an illegal U-turn at a paved crossover and drove into the path of a semitrailer that then pushed the car into another semitrailer. All of the vehicles were westbound.
The car driver was critically injured. Neither truck driver was hurt.
