(Elkhart County, IN) - A crash Friday afternoon on the Indiana Toll Road closed westbound lanes and put two people in the hospital.

The accident happened just after 2 p.m. east of the Elkhart exit involving two semis and an SUV. According to State Police, while traffic was slowing due to construction, a semi hit the back of an SUV, then crashed into the flatbed trailer of another semi. Steel coils on the flatbed came loose and smashed into the first semi, trapping the driver in his cab.

The SUV driver was taken to South Bend’s Memorial Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. After being extricated, the semi-driver was airlifted to the same hospital. His injuries were later determined to be only minor.
