HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. — Hancock County dispatchers confirmed at least one person died in a crash Thursday evening on Interstate 70 east, near the State Road 9 interchange.
All eastbound lanes of I-70 were closed shortly after the collision. A check of INDOT's traffic camera network showed cars and trucks stopped in both lanes for miles behind the crash.
In a social media post, Hancock County's 911 Center said those lanes would be closed "for an extended amount of time" during the investigation. They suggested eastbound traffic exit at Post Road to avoid the delays. The exit at Mount Comfort Road is currently closed for construction.
Around 1:30 a.m. Friday, Hancock County 911 posted a social media message that said all lanes had reopened.
As of 6 a.m. Friday, traffic heading toward Hancock County on I-70 east was moving slowly as the investigation into the deadly crash continues.
