2 hurt in overnight crashes on I-465

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Two people were taken to the hospital after two crashes on the same stretch of Interstate 465 early Monday morning.

Troopers say a tractor trailer headed west near State Road 37 crashed into a concrete barrier. Crews spent several hours cleaning up oil and diesel that spilled onto the interstate.

According to officials at the scene, the force of the crash tore pieces of the barrier off. They say one piece hit a car going eastbound.

Both drivers went to the hospital, but there’s no word on their conditions.

Another crash happened in the same area Monday morning. INDOT said around 5 a.m. the left two lanes were closed.
