INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 20-30 car pileup has shut down all lanes of westbound I-70 in Vigo County, Indiana State Police said Saturday afternoon.
In a 1:35 p.m. Facebook reel, ISP Public Information Officer Sgt. Matt Ames said cleanup will take “at least six hours” because so many cars had crashed near mile marker 15 (Tabortown Street), not far from Terre Haute International Airport.
“There’s multiple accidents here. The good thing is, we don’t have any major injuries,” Ames said.
With more snow expected Saturday afternoon and evening, Ames urged drivers to stay home.
“If you can stay home, just stay home. This is about a 20-30 car pileup here that’s unnecessary. People need to drive smart when snow starts falling. Reduce your speed, make sure you’re buckled up, and let’s all be safe out there.”
