SEMI CRASH CLOSES 1-70, CLOGS U.S. 40

(Wayne County, IN)--A crash on I-70 in Wayne County early Wednesday afternoon caused the interstate to be closed for two hours.  It happened in the eastbound lanes near Mineral Springs Road close to Centerville when one semi rear-ended another.  One semi driver was trapped in the wreckage and was eventually flown to a Level One trauma center.  With I-70 closed in both directions, interstate traffic was diverted onto U.S. 40, and that caused that highway to back up.  There’s no word yet on the condition of the victims.
