Accidents on I-70 Snarl Traffic For Hours

Interstate 70 – Clean-up efforts took hour Wednesday following a chaotic evening that saw twin accidents paralyze the Illinois-Indiana border. The primary accident, involving a semi-truck near mile marker 150 in Illinois, triggered a massive westbound backup that stretched miles into Indiana. This congestion led directly to a secondary “fender-bender” near the Darwin Road exit at mile marker 3. While Indiana State Police confirmed no injuries in that second collision, the combined scenes forced hours of lane closures and heavy detours onto U.S. 40.
