COLUMBUS, Ind. — A collision involving two semis slowed or stopped traffic on southbound Interstate 65 for six hours Tuesday night.
A report from the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department says at 7:04 p.m., a truck driven by Austin Pounds, 26, of Odessa, Texas, struck the rear of another truck driven by Lee Moore, 51, of College Park, Georgia, just south of the State Road 46 exit.
For the next three hours, southbound traffic was reduced to one lane during the investigation and initial clean up. From 10:00 p.m. to 12:50 a.m., the interstate was completely closed while crews mobilized special equipment to remove the trucks and debris from the roadway.
No injuries were reported.
