BOTH NB lanes of I-69 at 281 mile marker in Huntington County are CLOSED due to a vehicle crash with injuries. Avoid the area and seek alternate routes of travel.— Sgt. Ron Galaviz (@ISPFortWayne) July 6, 2018
Indiana State Police say this was at mile marker 281 between the Markle and Warren exits.
An investigation revealed a 2000 Dodge Stratus was heading southbound on I-69 when, for an unknown reason, it traveled into the center median. It then spun around before entering the northbound lanes, striking the driver’s side of a 2011 GMC Acadia.
The Stratus came to a rest in the right, northbound lane, and the the Acadia traveled off the roadway and down into a ditch where it rolled completely over before coming to a final rest.
