Two semi-trucks collide on I-80/94 in Lake County, causing traffic delays

LAKE COUNTY, Ind. - A crash on I-80 and I-94 in northwest Indiana involving two semi-trucks led to lengthy traffic delays as crews worked to clear the scene on Thursday.

The crash happened at 9:10 a.m. near the 2.3-mile marker in the westbound lanes of I-80 and I-94.

A white Kenworth tanker truck was heading westbound when it was sideswiped by a gray 2014 Freightliner, according to Indiana State Police.

The collision forced the tanker trucker to hit the concrete barrier wall and rollover. The back of the Kenworth went over the barrier wall and landed on the inside shoulder.

The other semi-truck involved in the crash came to a stop on the inside of the eastbound lanes, police said.

No injuries were reported in the wreck.

The tanker trailer lost some of its load of coal tar and as of around 3:30 p.m., crews were still working to clean up the roadway.

Police closed the two inside westbound lanes and the two inside eastbound lanes for offloading the tanker and removing both vehicles.

Delays were expected for those driving in the area until the scene was cleared.
