I-70 SEMI CRASH SNARLS RICHMOND TRAFFIC

(Wayne County, IN)--For the second time this week, an incident with a semi closed I-70 and clogged local streets and roads with out-of-town drivers trying to get around the closure.  Thursday afternoon at around 5 o’clock, an eastbound semi driver lost control near the U.S. 40 interchange and the semi ended up on its side across both lanes.  Traffic was diverted onto East Main Street.  The semi was removed and the interstate reopened at just after 9 o’clock.  There’s no word on what caused the crash or any injuries that resulted.
