A portion of U.S. Route 30 in LaPorte County, Indiana, was expected to remain closed for "several hours" as crews worked to clean up a crash involving a grain hauler and another semi, authorities said.
The LaPorte County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post at around 1:55 p.m. that the eastbound lanes of U.S. 30 remained closed near County Road 1350 South due to a personal injury crash.
Photos posted on social media showed a grain hauler that had been tipped over, with grain pouring out of the trailer and covering a portion of the road. Shattered glass and crash debris were scattered across the highway, including near the cab of the second semi, which appeared to have been seriously damaged.
