Indianapolis, IN (November 4, 2024) – A crash on northbound I-65/70 in downtown Indianapolis is causing significant traffic delays this morning. The collision occurred just before the Washington St exit, blocking the left lane and slowing traffic back to S. Keystone Ave. Drivers in the area are currently experiencing delays of approximately 10 minutes as authorities work to clear the scene.
Additionally, the crash has disrupted traffic flow on eastbound I-70, with vehicles coming from West St into the South Split facing stopped or slowed conditions. Emergency responders are at the scene managing the incident and directing traffic around the blockage.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when approaching the area or to seek alternate routes where possible to avoid congestion. Updates on the clearing process will be provided as the situation evolves. We hope for a swift and safe resolution to restore normal traffic flow.
Traffic Safety and Accidents in Indiana
Traffic accidents on major highways like I-65 and I-70 often lead to significant delays and increased risks for both drivers and emergency responders. Indiana’s highways experience heavy commuter traffic, and collisions can quickly disrupt movement, particularly during peak hours.

For those involved in highway collisions, the impact can extend beyond immediate delays, leading to potential injuries, vehicle damage, and costly repairs.
